[Coral reefer]

Am doing neither tho the red ones... at least not in my experience.

Though harmless, I still avoid them like the plague. Creeps me out!

Spaghetti worms creep me out too but I let them be. The first time I saw one in my tank I promptly removed it thinking something looking like that couldn’t possibly be good.

Has anyone tried using berghia to prey on Aptasia? From what I’ve read, they may not provide an instant solution but over time it sounds like they can eliminate Aptasia. It also sounds easier then some of the chemical or mechanical removal techniques.

I've done berghia twice. The first time it turned out great, 100% eradication that held. The second time years later in a different system they did nothing. Not sure why.

Not always done the first time around . Sometimes takes more than one try
