Osprey Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 I had a few of these come in on a coral frag I purchased a few months ago.. they weren't visible at the time of purchase, but at this point, they have not only grown, they've reproduced like mad. Has anyone had really harsh experiences with these little fellows, or am I just being paranoid? They've thoroughly colonized the glass in my sump and are definitely spreading thoughout the rockwork in the tank, even though most of it is covered with coralline. I haven't seen any on my LPS just yet, but I'm starting to think it's only a matter of time... Any suggestions for dealing with my recent plague?

FishBrain Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 I leave mine alone. Never had a problem with them. When I do maintenance in the sump I scrape them off and they just come back. No worries on them as they are really just filter feeders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharuq1 Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 I have a lot of the teeny little white curley-cue looking ones. They seem to like the back the best as it is plastic. Other than looking like a bunch of white dots, they aren't doing anything bad, so i have left them alone. The ones on the glass I just scrape off. They are definitely making a whole lot more of themselves though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunl Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 Filter feeders = free filtration for your tank. If you don't like the look of them, send them to the sump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
