Turned on lights this morning, and was absolutely horrified to see the Aippies had now attached themselves to some of my corals. :'(
They have infested the whole tank, lost count at around 100!!!
Guy at store said that they had probably 'sensed' the Aiptasia-X, and decided to planulate like crazy in an attempt to save themselves. ???
They had stung the life out of the Trumpet coral, the toadstool, Xenia and Jasmine Star too; as well as moving into them.
Took drastic action there and then.
All rock..removed!
Above mentioned corals...removed!!
Most of the sand/crushed coral....removed!!
Weird thing was, however, my fireshrimp was nowhere to be found; he must have died and been cleared away by the 10 bristle worms we found!!
Tank contents now: 2 Clowns, 1 yellow Goby, 1 Yellow Tail Damsel, 1 Firefish, couple of snails, brain coral, frag of Jasmine Star and Green Mushroom.
Will give it a couple of weeks to ensure there are no more of the swines in the system, and restart the aquascape.
All a bit murky at the moment, but will post pic's of my 'blank canvas' when it clears.
Gutted. :'(
