    Awesome pic.

    I have had 100% success the first try with Joes Juice. I use a syringe to cover the aptaisia's mouth entirely with it like a paste. I've also heard that lime juice inected into them with a syringe and needle will cause the cells to melt, killing the anemone.

    I've used lemon juice with good (temporary) success at times, but lately these have gotten to where that doesn't even seem to bother them. May be time to get hold of Instar about some of his Berghias.

    The title is kind of misleading, I was hoping to see a bristleworm actually eating the aptasia.

    Just get yourself an army of peppermint shrimps and let them do their thing. If you have big ones they won't eat, just inject them with liquid calcium or get a CBB.
