Hey everyone,
So I thought I controlled an outbreak of aiptasia in my tank
but clearly I failed as I saw a few yesterday when I was cleaning the tank.
I been trying to introduce peppermint shrimp to eat them but strangely they keep dying.
At first I though it was because I wasn't acclimating them properly so I kept it in a basket
attached to the top of my tank over night to keep an eye on it. It survived the night so I introduced it into my the tank and I found my cleanup crew eating it
up at the end of the day.
What is weird is I also introduced a cleaner shrimp and 2 emerald crabs at the same time
and they are fine.
My hypothesis is that something is attacking the peppermint shrimp but I am not sure what
it could be.
I have 2 clownfish, 2 firefish gobies, 1 royal gramma.
There seems to be alot of talk about how to remove them but what worked
for you?
