My pincusion seems to eat everything on my live rock. Would he consume aptasia? I have them in my QT and am thinking about moving the urchin down there to see if he will munch on them.

They seem to avoid coral polyps, so I am guessing no, but please keep posting after you put him in there.

No. They are mainly algae eaters.

Aiptasia are nuisances. Some like them. I consider thistles to be beautiful plants when they flower, but hate how many of them appear. This ideology probably applies to some people with aiptasia.
Myself I hate them, KILL 'EM ALL!!! :uzi:

yea I mean I liked them too until someone told me they were bad. but they multiply so much and they survive for so long. if you touch them or try to kill them they'll just shoot right back into the rock.
