aptasia eater in 10gal?

[BIGgourami]

my friend has a 10gal setup and he has aptasia and wants to remove it with some sort of fish. i didn't really ask but im pretty sure that a fish is prefered to chemicals and such.
any ideas?

bergia nudibranchs...most b-fly fish get to large for a 10

i think I've seen that Peppermint shrimp eat them sometimes as well. I think.....

You can get that nudibranch, but you will need to find it a new home once all the aiptasia is gone, it will starve from starvation when there is nothing left.

True peppermint shrimp are a very good choice, tank size dont come into it then....

ohhhhhh.....thats just nasty....injecting all that in the aiptasia all at once method? Sheesh....how do you sleep at night.....lol

Seriously, the methods mentioned by Julian above is a very good list of removal methods. All work, and all effective..

where the fudge do you get syringes?!?!

If using joes juice, use the syringe to squirt into the nems mouth, if using boiling water, just cover the darn thing anyway you can to destroy it.....

Some people also inject joes juice directly in to the nem with a hyperdermic needle on the syringe...

Or use a syringe from one of your test kits and rinse it afterwards!
