    Default CBB and Peps=Aiptasia Chow Down

    So, I was getting to have a pretty bad aiptasia problem. JJ was keeping them under control but then one day they just exploded in population. I wanted to try berghia but really couldn't afford them at the moment.

    Anyhow, after a week...all is well. I can't find a single aiptasia...and the CBB is eating mysis.

    It may take longer than a week... Both of mine keep them completely under control.

    CBB will eat the young tender ones first. Aptasia do not need light to grow so they grow in places you can not see and then they multiply and move into areas you can now see.

    When I got my CBB that finally lived. It took him a while to get going on the stuff. Once he did I could see him pick down into the rocks trying to get at them.
    Too bad it didn't eat briopsys.
