Kevman Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Have any of you found one of these? I spotted this guy picking on my Pink MilliPora the other night and didnt know where it came from(scratch), or if it was cleaning or eating my Milli. I noticed tonight that one of the tips of the milli was bald and white, just the tip(flame). So I did some searching on the web and sure enough, others had the same problem. So I pulled him off the Milli, which was not easy!!! Ive heard of others banishing to the sump. Is this a good idea? Anybody want this little guy?

Randy-S Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 feed him to a trigger!! unless you have a fuge in your sump to feed him no reason to toss him down there to starve. give him away or make it a quick exit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you catch him? you can dip colony in TMPCC and that will help to drive them from colony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you catch him? Well I tried to just stick him with a toothpick(nutty). Then I was getting pissed, so I had just mounted the coral with superglue about 2 months ago, so I broke it at the glue and put him in a tupperware bowl of Salt water, and picked him off...Sorry know easy answere to that question. He is pretty small and mimics a symbiotic host so at first I didnt even notice him. I dont even know how long he has been in there. Anyways Im glad he's out. I just bought these corals a couple months so, if you have too, they may be coming in from somewhere. like a batch of corals.\best found under Actinic as there eyes glow greenish blue.. I will try and get a pick, but my camera Batt, is dead. I will later or in the morning, so you know what Im talking about.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
