Stringy ones? If so h202 at night 1ml per 10gal after lights out should take them out within a week… sand dwellers not so much rrrrrr..
It’s a weird one. Here’s the tank;

Some are stringy and climbing all over the rocks but it’s also sat on the sand.

Yeah them are the toxic ones… run carbon and dose h202 after lights out.. I had those a couple months back and it knocked them out quick.. a few months later I got the sand dwellers and those sucked! It’s a whole new monster.

I’m running carbon currently, h2o2 will be on the list to start, how did your corals react with the h2o2?
I’ve never used it before as Cyano keeps arriving but being beaten naturally every time, this time it was beaten by corals.

I have never had an issue! In fact my lps get more fluffy lol.. my buddy is dosing his display with about 4 times that amount for ich right now and it’s working.. no problems with corals and the fish are responding very well..

Birdsnest are nigh on impossible to kill. My main one has been through hell and it’s still with me (albeit halved).
0/2 for me they just waste away. Cats paws do fine but not birdsnest. Ah well at least I can grow GSP ;)

Stylo is easier than birdsnest however I have recovered my birds a couple times.

One of my 5 Millies is currently going into RTN mode by the looks of it… Dinos is really beginning to affect my nano.
Sucks to hear. I've been doing decent with Acros since November. Not a ton of vertical growth but some decent growth basing out.

One of mine based out a ton and it was doing so well even after everything it went through now it seems like it’s struggling to make it through the dinos.

this birdsnest is definitely nigh on my list for hardy, I've had it all over and in tanks with no light for a few days it still does good, for some reason I feel like this one is pretty bulletproof. :)

Those Dino’s will sting and take them out! If your lps happen to ingest any they will bail out also.. don’t ask me how I know… :rolleyes:

Get stags or torts.. super easy and much more vibrant.. my old miyagi and Cali tort blow away almost all my sticks visually with deep rich blues and purples.

Those are acros though so I will be a little patient for when I get those

You’d be surprised how easy Stags, Torts, Millies, and even some of the smoothies are.
I’d love a carduus but my LFS can’t get them to acclimate to their lighting so an Ice Fire echinata is on my list
