    Default lps predators?

    I know some people here have been having problems lately with their sps tanks. I don't remember hearing as much about lps parasites. What kind of problems do people who keep lps corals have?

    I have had two brains for almost 8+ years with no problems. Frogspawn do well with no problems. Acans seem to be hardy, the only LPS I have had problems with were bubbles. Candy Cane do well also.

    Most of the LPS predators that I am aware of are fish that like to nip at them.

    Bubbles, in particular, can have problems with planaria. Solution is simple, a 15 minute iodine dip. I realize these things have no brains, but they really seem to "enjoy" the results of this dip. If you see your bubble going downhill or sliming, this is the trick!
