The Puffer Forum

I found some small glass anemones in my tank today. I am still looking into the best way to remove them without them spreading around. I am however wondering if there is any danger to the puffer. As in him dying if he tries to eat one. Don't really want that to happen .

Did I put this in the wrong section?

Well, sort of the wrong section, I'll move it to Brackish Puffers.

To answer the question, I don't think there's any harm from the glass anemones. Most fish are pretty smart on what they can and can't eat and should leave them alone.

Moving again--since this is a Q actually about a marine problem. I have a feeling they taste really nasty. Won't hurt your puffer at all.

I'm getting Bergia nudies to combat mine. They're getting way out of control to use Kalk anymore. But if you only have a few, then just kalk them: Make a paste of Kalkwasser & squirt them directly with it.

I'll try this out, I found 2 a while ago and just removed the rock because it was a tiny piece, but now I found 2 more, one tiny white one not even a cm in diameter and a bigger green one about 2cm in diameter.

Get em while they're few & small. I have a tank covered in them! Bought a Copperband butterfly but I haven't seen him eating any.

Apparently Lysmata Wurdemanni will eat them



Next time I am at one of the LFS that keep marine aquarium stuff I am gonna see if they have any and try it at any rate. I also heard of a crab that eats them though I cant remember the name. The problem with the crab was that it only ate them (or anemones in general) if I recall correct.

Yes, they will, but they never seem to last long in my tank.
