Aiptasia in a FOWLR tank?

Do you guys recommend removing it from a FOWLR? I never have in the past but was just wondering if there is any reason I should?

no reason to remove it as it can be concidered as a nutrient exporter. but if you want corals later on it will just make it that much harder to get them all out.

Ok thats what I thought...No there will never be corals in this tank, its a Puffer tank!

I'd agree. Take it from someone who kept a fowlr for years and am just starting with corals... get it out while you can.

I have just bought a 120G that is going to be a reef tank so this small one is definitely staying FOWLR, but thanks for the advice.
