Critters in tank, what are they?

No, the down side is them not surviving in the tank, ie
getting killed.

Print out the brand name, and item number and take it to
your lfs. If they don't have the breeder net they should
be able to order it for your, and get it in within about a
week.

The nudibranches 1 to 3 will gang up, and destroy one
aiptasia about every other night, and in the morning after
lay a batch of eggs.

Wayne,

They had some that were with eggs for a tad bit more, I guess for my tank
considering is kind of new, only about 4 chunks of live rock (but about 30
Aiptasia's) 3 per 5 gallon seemed a high number..

This breeder net you mentioned where can I get it, and without having a net
I guess the downside would be A. Stephanieae's all over eh?

Whats your recommendation on how to go about this?
Keep in mind I'm kind of a newbie to this

I have no idea what rate they eat Aiptasia's at, and I'm still concerned
about my other corals, I want to make sure this is a safe method..

Wow they told you to purchase 3 per 5 gallon !!

If you have space to put a Lee's breeder net manufacture number 10265,
then you can get it and place it in your tank, add a few aiptasia, and
then add 2 of the nudi's and let them lay eggs.

Wayne,

I'm working on getting some Aeolidiella stephanieae to eat those
Aiptasia's.. I'm lucky I live close to Inland Aquatics which from what
I've heard is just wonderful. They have over 27,000 gallons in their
system and have already told me they have some Aeolidiella stephanieae's
to sell. So I'm going to purchase some.. however they suggest that I get
3 A. stephanieae's per 5 gallons, and they arent exactly cheap. They are
close to 30 dollars a piece!.. ouch.

I may buy 3 of them just to see if they seem to impact the Aiptasia's at
all.

The little brown anemones are Aiptasia. You might want to get rid of
them.
