That’s a bummer. I am concerned that the peppermint shrimp might get after some of my other corals. I’ll have to keep a close eye on it. I’m planning on picking him up tomorrow from the Southwest Reef Company.

After my peppermint shrimp ate all the aiptasia, he started going after my rhodactus and zoos. I took him out and put him in my fowlr tank and my puffer ate him. Now I see the same spot growing back.
I changed my tank from 2.5g to a 10g tank so that I dont have to change water every other day, now its once a week.

Burning the aiptasia off worked great, but it didn’t take long for them to come back. I now have 4 aiptasia corals that I can see, so I’ll be making a trip back to the pet store soon to pickup some peppermint shrimp. They should get the job done.

How did the bon fire turn out? I also found some aiptasia growing in my micro reef 2 weeks ago.I used a peppermint shrimp and I havent seen any more. He doesnt seem to bother any of my corals either. And from what ive read, they only like aiptasia under an inch tall. What do the burned patches look like now? And did it effect any water, coraline or coral themself? My reef is only a 2.5g aga tank so I didnt think I could risk the corals to a chem change in that little of water.
