wasp Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 should I remove them? (and if so how?) Herein the dilema faced by a lot of people who have put these in their tank :lol: . They can take over EVERYTHING! Best plan for them in my opinion, is to keep them on a particular rock that is seperated from other stuff in such a way they can be contained, and killed out around the edges from time to time.

wilson Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 carefully cutting them off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 If they are just on one rock, boil a jug of water & put in a pot, then carefully dip the parts of the rock in where you want to kill them. If they are already all over the tank, not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

land_lubber Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Doesn't skeleton mean that its dead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tHEcONCH Posted December 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 It has no flesh on the outside, but it still has a live organism attached to the inside - I think I'll just chop them off with a sharp knife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
