Anenomie Bloom

[TFFDave]

Hi, my first post and i am in need of help!

My reef tank has been running for about 3 years, its 4' x 20" deep by 2' high with about 35% of the volume taken by living rock. it has under gravel filters powered by 2 power heads and a 2' wet/dry trickle filter with a mix of plastic and living rock.

over the last few months there has been a steady increase in these small brown anenomies to the point that they now completely cover the rocks and some of the corral sand. every time i have a clean out and disturb them they multiply again!

is there a way of eliminating them (or something that eats them) as they have boxed in my boxer shrimp and he cannot get away as they sting and grab his tentacles which he does not appreciate!!


Cheers

Dave

Hi. Welcome to the forum! I'm not able to help you with your problem as I don't have any experience with saltwater, but i just thought that i'd let you know that if you look farther down the list of forums you will see a saltwater fish and reef section. The people in those forums would be much better able to answer your question. You've mistakenly posted in the freshwater section, but no worries, I'm sure a moderator will move the post for you soon. Good luck with your tank.

FYI.. there is a marine/reef section of the forums here.. Whilst you might get an answer if they spot it here, there are some fanatics in the other section.

Good Luck.. and welcome to the forum

EDIT: just seen above.. im so slow..
