Over the past few months I have acquired an outbreak of nems and ,from what I was told, a white stringy sponge. At first they were both centralized but have now started to overrun the tank. I know for the nems I've heard CB butterfly or camel shrimp. Any ideas for the sponge or other ideas for nems

I had one aiptasia. I nuked it to death. Never saw another one. Method: Go buy pickling lime from Wally World. Mix a couple of tablespoons of lime with hot water from the microwave into a thick paste. Apply with an oral syringe (buy one at Wally while you're there). If the paste is too thick to draw up and apply with syringe, add a touch of water until it isn't. Aim to completely cover the hole the aiptasia disappears into when you get near it. It might take 2-3 applications, but it works, and it didn't harm anything else in my tank. I had no SPS when I did this, but I believe it isn't harmful to anything it doesn't touch (based on what I've read.)

I have a mix of all corals and it's a fairly small tank (50 tall). If you think he'd be OK, that would be awesome. I'm just worried about corals and shrimp |

Unfortunately, I can't do that. I got in an accident with the Frito truck when I blacked out behind the wheel. The state suspended my license until I'm proven medically safe to drive. If you can't drop it off, that's OK. I still appreciate the offer.
