pantherguy30 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Looks like apstasia to me, camel shrimp like to eat them when they are that small. They grow like weeds so id try and get something to eat it as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islandoftiki Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Camel shrimp eat them? I thought it was Peppermint shrimp. FWIW, my Peppermint shrimp went to town on those things! Gone in 3 days. Anyhow, get rid of them with a Peppermint shrimp or Aiptasia-X if your tank has fish that would eat the shrimp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Unless it get's into your display tank I wouldn't worry about it myself. Most people freak out about them but all in all they help filter your tank just like everything else. Once they get into your display they can take over pretty fast but if you can keep them in your sump or refugium you shouldn't have a problem.

Sorry about that:-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jozee Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Yup - Aiptasia - Just got an established tank to get back into the hobby and it's loaded with them... Thanks to a stop at Barrier Reef in Renton, I picked up a couple of little peppermints today and we'll hopefully get rid of the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
