If someone did not know what those were they would pay BIG $$$$ for that cool looking rock thingy.

Xenia DIES pretty easily. I did not have to do anything and it croaked.

Aip's pop out of nowhere and could probally withstand a nuclear holocaust.

Only two things can survive nuclear bombs. Cockroaches, and aptasia.

But only 3 things will survive the end of the universe: cockroaches, Tier, and Captian Dylan Hunt. And Dylan will be trying to save the cockroaches.

BTW if you got that, you are a total nerd

12g eclipse my 1st SW tank, I was so excited when I got my first one I fed it by hand every day

Good enough for a laugh?

Pea Brain,

I am proud to among the total nerds.

Ok well those pictures are gross. I hate aptasia. I though it was some kind of usual nice hitchhiker when I first saw it, so I didn't do anything about it. Then I decided to look up some stuff on aptasia, seening they were propagating everywhere, on the glass, sand, rocks, pumps. I saw a few pictures and said "ah crap."

I though mine was bad, which it was with some over the size of a quarter, but not as bad as some of those pics. I've gotten most of the big ones with lemon juice. I'll try to get pics of mine, but a cell phone probably won't work well.

I got one on a ball of Chaetomorpha a few weeks ago. Then I noticed a second one in my refugium. When I saw a 3rd and 4th, I got my scraper and turkey baster out and got down to business. I believe I'm aiptasia free again. Those things multiply fast!
