kuay5 Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Hi has anyone got experience with removing this kind of anemone? I bought some macroalgae from irwana, didnt check. Found out it was infested with them. Now my refugium has lots of them. No harm actually because they can't reach my main tank, but i want to keep seahorses in the refugium, so they must go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFOh Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Hi, is it "Thalassianthus"?

FuEl Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Get a racoon butterflyfish. This fish loves anemones for every single meal. Quote Always something more important than fish. http://reefbuilders.com/2012/03/08/sps-pico-reef/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuay5 Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 ok tried the kalkwasser method. Works for me, after injecting they will dislodge. maybe there will be 1 or 2 left. Yup they look like they are Thalassianthus Aster. Will get a raccon butterfly if they grow back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bro, Once they dislodges, you need to collect them to be thrown away, if not they will just migrate to another part of the tank.
