chimera Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 all i hear is crushing it will allow spores to float around the tank and cause more growth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie extreme Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 dont pop them. will mulitply into thousands if you do. remove the rock from the tank, use tweezers and gently pull off. it would also help to flush the rock under the tap to remove any possible offsprings.

cracker Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Ive got a small amount, when I remove the bigger ones sometimes they pop. But any new small ones get eaten by my sailfin, she eats 'em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveA Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 I have heard not to crush them, or set them adrift, but I got a yellow tang to eat them after I deliberately set a few adrift and it decided to have a taste. Prior to that it didn't even seem to know it was potential food, but it had demonstrated a liking for peas dropped into the tank – hence the idea to try. Something in my tank has eaten all that I had but I did not see any particular tang doing the deed. Mind you, I also don’t know what eats all the Aiptasia.
