Those amazing peps! All of my aptasia is gone. Eight days in my tank and it's all gone. I had two that were as big as BTA's and they're gone, too. Thanks to those amigos.

Jaime, I smell a "road trip".

I'm thinking of buying more aptasia just so they have something to eat. LOL!

Man those guys are good!

Hey, BigBird, how many of those little delights did you end up putting in your tank?

Brad you don't want to put any Pepermints in your tank they might eat your "Show Size" pieces of Aiptasia.

Tom,

I'm afraid to put my hands in the tank these days. I told my wife if i ever disappear to look in the tank for bone fragments.

I have named one of them Audrey.

peps

Karen,
I think I put about 20 in my 135g. I really had two aptasias that were as big as an anemone. All of it is gone! I now have my peps eating flake food. LOL! Ain't that great!

Hmmm, it might just be worth getting rid of my flame hawk and getting some peppermints.

I had four peps in my tank originally, and I added about 12 more. Mine all eat flake chips, too. Occasionally I will break some krill into small pieces for them, which they will take from my hand :) I still have several peps in my fuge. Come to think of it, I had a couple of small aptasias in there, and they are now gone. I've never seen any aptasia in the tank, I think since I've had the peps in there from almost the beginning. One of the peps looks like he's been on steroids....he's about 2 and a half inches now :D
