I really need to buy a Nudibranch. If someone could help me out I feel like the aiptasia is taking over my tank entirely too much and i would like for it to all be gone as soon as possible.

Fwiw

Nudibranch will not work over night, if at all...
I've spent over a hundred on 2 orders in the past and it did nothing to help my tank....

Best option to "help" is aptasia X.... Its not a cure but will keep them gone for a little while....

Get some peppermints when your done blasting them with the aptasia X .... Or do like i did and get a laser :)

The peppermint shrimps worked great for me. All aiptasia are gone and have stayed gone. I hadn't seen the peppermint shrimp in a long time (over 8 months) until the other night. I was looking for another fish after lights went out and found one still alive in a hole in the rock. I guess that's why the aiptasia hasn't returned.

Yes they are hit or miss as well....

Mine are against eating aptasia :-(

They hide allday... Just hoping my melanurus makes a meal of them now for not doing their job.

I will try another batch again soon...
I hear the ones from our coast work well...

Yea somebody told me about aiptasia X and they said it is a constant thing that you will have to do. I would love to give Peppermint shrimps a try, but I dont know of anybody that has them. And I also dont wanna buy some that end up not eating my aiptasia. thanks for all the suggestions. Im open to any ideas to make my tank beautiful. first step is getting rid of this aiptasia

I have them in my over flow and sump. I have a copperband butterfly in my tank and there are none there. Wether or not he eats them or keeps them at bay is anyones guess. Good luck

Thanks for the suggestion Jolly but I can not put one in the tank. I already have my Queen Anglefish running the tank and I have an anemone that my clown fish swim in that it would pick at too.
