pledosophy Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Lemon juice if injected into a zoa will kill it, but it is Alsace to use next to them IME HTH Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YUP Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 Ya I've killed a few and I notice lemon juice kinda floats with pumps off. I was mainly wondering I guess about indirect flow or secondary exposer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YUP Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 I will send a pic. Got these buggers from Garrett and since my move and no fish I developed freaken carnivorous pods. Didn't believe it till I researched and decided to build a rack. They since have taken off on the frag rack. Separated the bottom ones from eggcrate and glued to shell. Now I have like 18 polyps from I swear 10-12 when I bought it like two weeks ago. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBret Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Yup.....I say get 1 peppermint shrimp, and your problem will disapear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBret Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Something you night want to try...if there are only a few select aptasia, you can use a wooden skewer that you can buy un packs at the grocery store. Shove the pointed end at the base of the guy and spin it back and forth. Watch the milky cloud start to cone out. I have taken a lot out like that over time when they are reachable.

YUP Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 Thanks guys, I'm starting to see them all around my tank, dang things. Little ones to a few big ones. I thought about the peppermint shrimp route. Most I can nuke, just a few that I worry about like that little bugger. I do not currently have any shrimps, if I get a peppermint, can I get any other shrimps for a 75 gal. I would like another scarlet eventually or a fire shrimp?
