They are aptasia. Peppermint shrimp wont eat large aptasia. You can buy all sorts of treatments but it is best to remove them manually. I use a flame. A small butane torch with a strong flame that you can burn the little buggers with. Once you remove/kill as many as you can, then get a...

best to steer away from any damsels. They will bully any other fish to the point of death.

Search the net for refugiums. You can plant mangroves but they need to grow out of the water. Otherwise macro algae but they are not really suited to display tanks.

6 weeks later, no sign. Think I've had a win!

Nice little tank you have there. too bad about your photography skills :lol: What about some details, filtration ect. Is that a tubinaria or montipora frag on the last shot? It will be interesting to see the growth rate.

Nice shot

Looks great, well done!

Awesome. What type of blenny is that?

Star polyps are really looking great. Sometimes they die off so you must be on the right track now.

You can put the LR in now.

Can you post some pics of your tank and equipment. Might help us help you.' They are really high, I think there must be something that can be taken out, cleaned or added to help.

not too hard for me. I'm a carpenter. (shouldn't admit that, the cabinet is not too flash :oops: )

Might need to get a few more pieces of live rock. The tank might struggle a bit later on when you add fish if you haven't got enought biological filtration. You also don't wan't to be adding a few bits here and there because you will have a mini cycle everytime which you tank won't like...

That small 'head' looks like it might be a tube worm. just double check on that.
