So thought I had an Aptasia nem and used lemon juice only for it surface again. Then I noticed another one a different rock. I used so much lemon juice that if I add vodka the tank would be a huge lemon drop martini.
How do I get rid of these pests which I assume now are Manjano.

Thanks

Are the tenticals thin or fat. Fat and stubby and usually green are manjanos. Brown and thin are aptasia. Burgia nudie are the only thing that will eat them. The more you try to kill them, the more they spread. I was gonna order 10 nudies but cant be home for delivery. Maybe I'll see when you're working at home and have them delivered to you and give you 2 of them.

Thanks for the help, again.

I've had luck with a coffee cup of microwaved tank water (boiling) squired on the little beasts using a turkey baster. Some require two or three applications.

I only see two. And tried boiling hot water before the lemon jucie. Guess my aim is really bad if its still alive after all the attempts I made.

MikeM dropped by today with two very small Burgia.
I dropped one right on top of the Appy and it went to town. The other got stuck in siphon but landed next to the other Appy and chased into the hole.

Thanks,
Mike
