Interesting read Fuel.

So conclusion is both will consume pest anemones.... just that the rate is different both in spieces and in self-spieces group.

Tried to find pics of the two different spieces to post here for differentiation... but all look the same to me as the web don't have good pics for comparision...

Pest anemones !?

Took the effort to collect 1 from the beach.

Took me freaking long b4 it let go of the rock it attached

itself on. So far my prawns and glass cardigan are fine with it.

See pic loh. On rock is prawn and back ground right is glass cardigan.

Maxstar81, what you had collected are not aiptasia but glass anemones. Very hardy, does not spread like aiptasia. You don't want to fool around with aiptaisas....

Ok lah

Not pest lah

Can leave it alone lah
