Kelsey...

Thank you for the encouraging words both for aiptasia control and
butterfly husbandry. It's nice to know that success is possible with
these delicates. I know it's a little off topic as far as the
aiptasia, but what did you do special to get the copperband to start
feeding in captivity? Live food?

Nope, he was perfectly happy to eat frozen mysis and brine shrimp right
after I got him. He did pretty much just hide for about a week, but
still obliterated the aiptasia. I don't know if this was the work of
the LFS or if I just got lucky.

I figure the worst case is you can end up 'renting' the fish and take
him back to the LFS once the aiptasia is cleaned up if he isn't eating well.

So, what about getting rid of majanos? Is chemical treatment the only
viable option. (joe's juice, kalk, etc?)
