I paid 15 bucks for the thing because only one store had it in town and he was one of the more expensive ones... so now I have thrown 15 bucks at a problem that is no closer to being solved. Maybe my tank at 5 months still cannot sustain a shrimp? Anyways... I want the aptasia out. I was thinking Joes Juice but cannot find it in town. I will have to order it online and hope this demon does not spread. Any thoughts?
Be careful when you use any treatment because you might nuke the hammer too. Can you scrape them off? Are they attached to crevice/cracks or a smooth surface?
Did you bring the shrimp back to the store. If it died while acclimation then they should do something for you. It obviously wasn't your fault.
