 HIGHLY reccomend peppermint shrimp I had four or five pest anenomes that were all about 1/2 inch diameter or less and beggining to spread to other rocks. I added a peppermint shrimp and basically overnight they were gone. It isn't a great shrimp to show off because it rarely comes out when the lights are on, but I think this is a much easier method of getting rid of the problem anenomes than hot water or kalk injection. Also if you get one, be sure to drip acclimate it: it looked stressed and temporarily went transluscent for the hour that I drip acclimated, so I think any more stress or a faster change in specif. grav. might have killed it. Have your specific gravity between 1.023 and 1.025 before introducing as well  |

| I totally agree... In 2 of my tanks in the past, I've picked up a few aiptasia here and there... My peppermints have always taken care of them within a day or 2... Be careful though, not all peppermint shrimp are the same and some do not eat aiptasia... Big D |
