I've seen them a couple times after lights out. They were about 1/4-1" when we got them.

I'm looking at the .75 -1" nudis from Saltyunderground. $27 for a 1"+ and $21.79 for .75"

They multiply while killing the aptasia..just resell to make your money back or sell them for what ypu paid and make money

AND a bit pricey and can be an expensice snacks for some shrimps and inverts

This is what puts me off from getting them. Also the fact once the aiptasia are gone so are they. For now I keep up manual control of the things.

Morning. Checking out the tank this morning and noticed my new Sugar Rush Frag was missing. Either a turbo or urchin dislodged it. Spent 30 minutes looking all over the back of the tank and couldn’t find it. Came back around to the front and there it was riding on it’s mobile Frag rack. Looked pretty good and was wondering if I should just leave it. But, decided to put it back where it belonged. On a positive note, all the looking for it, I found an Aiptasia hidden in the rocks. Zap!! With Aiptasia X.

I looked at Salty too but wasn't sure if anyone had used them. Plus, they're a lot more expensive. With dinkins, we got 3 two adults and one juvenile for $39 I think.

Pandaparties got them from Salty I believe.

how are you manually controlling it. Aptaisa x, pure lemon juice, boiling water,

Good to know! I'm always nervous ordering from websites I haven't ordered from before lol

Lemon juice works well, also use Joe's Juice. The sodium hydroxide method looks appealing.

I just have to stop putting it off, if I see one I need to nuke it ASAP and not say I'll get it when the kids go to bed then fall asleep myself.

I like Salty, at least for some things. Last month got 2 urchins and 2 lettuce nudis. Very healthy. And the urchins were bigger than I expected. And as of now all still happily munching away.

I sent Steve some glowing urchin hats for this reason, hopefully to leave the frags alone if if not easier to find the urchins...

Yeah, I tend to use lemon juice. There were a few times I superglued them in the hole cause I knew for certain they’d be trapped.

 

[stoney7713]

Same as aiptasia X or whatever but more potent and likely to kill it.

Oh they are sneaky, the tiniest hole left and they can squeeze through.

I have no problem finding them, though I’ll definitely try out the hats. They’re big purple lunkers. This one is actually slightly smaller than the other one have.

Well, pulled the princess peach frogspawn out of the tank. After lights came on, I could see the top head starting to have bailout also. Once I grabbed it by the base to pull it out, the top came off more, and the bottom one fell apart some.

Will continue to monitor and hopefully have no other issues. Only the second LPS to have bailout like that on us. The other was the big pink hammer we had also (3 or 4 months ago). One day completely puffy and happy, next day complete bailout with no reason why. Nothing else effected, hopefully the same this time.

I just saw a place selling eggs only for $3. I can't remember where, but here is another place selling them for $5. For the price, might be worth trying. You'd have to put the eggs in an acclimation box or something so your fish don't eat them right away.

Clean out my tank the other day and took out a small rock with aptaisa. I put it in the yard and giving them a sun bath
