Kevman Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I have some too and have left them alone. They dont seem to be hurting anything. Do they have a life expectancy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC Scott Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 They spread kinda fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I have some too and have left them alone. They dont seem to be hurting anything. Do they have a life expectancy? FOREVER!!! Ok well that may be a little dramatic but they can become a nuisance to some people from time to time. I personally have lots of aptasia in my tank and it's been helping keep my tank clean...LOL To each their own I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trautman Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 they will cover your rocks... that is for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReeFit Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 they will eventually overtake your tank and sting corals. I would recommend removing them by either kalk paste, aiptaisia-x or removing the rock and burning it with a small butane torch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnflindsey Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 Thanks for all the answers. One thing I tried aiptaisia-x on two of them..... Me thinks it pissed them off, now there seem to be more of them... : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
