    I have a 75 gal that has been up for a little over a month with about 100Lbs of live gulf rock. It has what I believe is aptasia all over it. Was going to get some peppermint shrimp in to take care of the problem but was told (another thread) that they might go after my other anemones. So went for a CBB thinking that it would be in heaven with all the aptasia. Did I make a bad call ? Should I call and swith the order back to peppermints?
    Gary said that they usally come with parasites whats the best quarintine procudures for a CBB.

    Thanks

    Aiptasia and hair algae for sure. The natural predator for gulf aiptasia that has no side effects is the Berghia nudibranch.
    If its good gulf rock, then it probably has lots of feather dusters that will colonize your tank if they aren't killed off by a copperband. New tank syndrome here. Read and dream about the copperband till next fall, seriously.
