Mi first aipstasia! what to do?

[Garf]

Hi guys, couple of weeks ago i've bought 3 frag from a guy, i've noticed it was having aipstasia in his tank and i must say i did not dislike them, yeah not colorfoul but still interesting.

Today i have noticed a small aipstasia near a xenia frag. the frag is detached from the other rocks so it may be just in there and did not go yet on the rest if the rocks (is a nano 15g tank).

How bad are aipstasia? Can i keep it? Pleeeeaseee ...no really, are they really bad? they kill other corals? they bring other pest? or they just propagate until where you spent most of the days just trying to get rid of them.

Lots of ways to deal with them when they return, and they probably will, lol. It’s normal

I started out with 1 aptasia few months ago also….View attachment 2833618View attachment 2833649

That looks pretty cool. Are you doing anything in particular? I assume you're feeding them, or shredding them and dispersing them, or something, to get that many bigguns in a few months.

That’s just what they do

Lots of brine and scissors to cut tops off. Along with I’ve found no water changes and undesirable environment seems to make them spawn a lot lol
