I'd like them to be around just to keep the aiptasia at bay, but I fear for my Blastomussa, which isn't doing so great at the moment with all the aiptasia around it. The stinging of my blasto has been very detrimental to the colony. It was once a beautiful fleshy B. wellsi...now I wonder if it will last till the end of the year with out a useful aiptasia repellent. mcliffy2;

Why is so-and-so picking on my corals? Why is so-and-so wasting away? the food sources that fish rely on should abso-f'in-lutely play a part in aquarists' responsibility in considering / keeping a particular fish. Knowing food sources, habits, etc, may help in better acclimating those species to aquariums. We'll leave out the discussion of species that are better left untouched for later :) excellent thoughts & post. Why is so-and-so picking on my corals?
