    My setup has been sold pending pickup this month. I purchased a filefish to try and get to of some of the aiptasia and it has done a wonderful job. I had a little over a dozen, now I have one that I can see. It hasn't shown any interest in any corals that I have noticed. The person who bought the setup didn't want the fish, so I am trying to find him a new home. It would likely have to go around the time the tank gets picked up since it will be tough to fish out and I don't want to be doing involuntary coral fragging, especially since everything else is spoken for. I have only a tentative "sometime in June" for tank pickup, but can update those interested when a date is locked in. I paid $35 from Seascapes but would let him go for free to someone that actually needs to get rid of some aiptasia.

    If you still have my number, shoot me a text or PM me. Easiest way to keep in touch IMO.

    Ideally I would like it making its way through the club, but once it leaves my hands I obviously have no real say where it goes. In the interest of fairness, Nik was first, but that doesn't mean you two cannot discuss it. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif

    Alright. Tank teardown, for the moment, is scheduled 6/11, so that is when he would need to go. Once I get an update witha specific time I will post here.

    Well, I'd need to keep it in a small container of water. It would probably do fine until the following day, though I won't have a good way to control the temperature. Tuesday I wouldn't be available until 2PM at the earliest.
