I am up for a group buy.

Will the pep shrimp go after the nudi's? I'm in for a group buy...can't do anything right now until i return to TX 11 days from now.

I'd probably be in for a group order.

A few years ago Larry brought me three nudi branches, he acclimated them and placed them on a 30 lb piece of live rock that was too valuable to destroy to get rid of an aptaisa problem. After a few minutes you could see the nudis eating starting with the roots first and working there way up. After a few weeks the visiable aptaisa where gone so I guessed they where eating the ones you don't see? In this 158 gallon tank I lost them after a while, but I never had a problem after that. I had a Copper Band in the tank but he did not attack them that I know of? I do believe you can not have peppermint shrimp though? One thing about Copperbands and peppermints is that they are mowers on aptaisa, they don't kill them, just control.

Another aptasia solution that works for me;
I take REAL LEMON juice and pull it up in a small syringe and directly inject the apsasia. It kills about 80% with 1 dose. The survivors will not open for a week or two and a second dose got all of them in my main tank. I missed (forgot about) the ones in my fuge and so had another outbreak 3-4 months later. Time to treat again.

No matter how often i treat, i cant target the unseen devils (those behind rocks)...i just cant win...hopeing for a group buy.

I would be in for a group order as well, right now looks like I have an Aiptasia tank

Did you guys every get a group buy together for these nudis? I am in desperate in need of some aiptasia eradication! Let me know if there is an order in the works because I would definitely be in for a few. I checked out the site and it says they will have some grown out and ready to ship around March 30th...

Does all this stop aiptasia from sprouting ?

I got a syrine with Kalk paste. I injected drip a few drip on the aptasia, they ate it and it is the end of that aptasia. make sure you turn the pumps off so you don't blow kalk paste all over the place. Nee to look closely and treat as soon as you see one until they are all gone. A 10 cc syringe (with no rubber) plunger will last for months, use 18 g needle. I got one behind the rock right now that I will turn it over this weekend and treat it.
