Does anything eat ball nems?

J

Jaguar

Cause I can see two I can do surgury on to remove. Except on viewing the tank under moonlights I saw what I think to be another along the very bottom and underneath the whole rockwork. Isn't that how it always goes?

I don't want pest nems stinging my ponies!
 
Orange ball anemones? I don't think they would sting a seahorse, as they would open up when the horses are sleeping. Any of the aiptasia-killing products should work.
 
There clear ones with tiny white tips they curl up into tiny baby pink things you can barely see. I just stare really hard.

The link doesn't work - sorry. You're going to have to save it to your harddrive and then attach it to your next post, I guess.
 
Funny, I just saw something like this last night on an empty snail shell and after a lot of researching I think I found out what it is. Psuedocorynactis caribbeorum/ white ball corallimorph.

My tank has some. I think they are pretty, but I don't have seahorses.

That's them! They look clear and whitish. It does seem, now that the seahorses have arrived that they don't bother the adults. After reading the description that you linked I might have a problem with fry and them though. I'll scrape out the 2 I can see and reach, and hope for the best on the other one @ the bottom.

Thanks for the link!
