Not entirely true. It is true that slime grows at dead spots more but that is because your nutrient level is high. If you know, red slime is a kind of aerobic bacteria. i think its duty is related to

Just to update, I have taken the advise to replace 2 skimmer with 1 bigger skimmer and removed the cannister filter. Picture of my revamped sump.

Is that (tube worm) good or bad? Yeah, familiar (WINK)... If I get a copperband butterfly to eat Aiptasia, will it (tube worm) be eliminated?
Tube worm are harmless but be careful when adding copperband as they might nip on inverts such as anemone & tube worms.

constantly check for more eggs and dip more if required. zoas and many other shallow corals are exposed to air and rain water on a daily basis, i've done FW dipping on all my zoas and they usually open up hours after being dipped.. im pretty sure you zoas will take another dip with no problem.. but don't dip too long. i make sure mine is around 7 - 8 mins dip only.

Thank you for the advise. Will keep a look out for any more eggs. So far none found.

Just added 2 berghia nudibranches in hope to reduce the aiptasia.

This time did 5.5 hours of drip until the salinity is same as my tank. Thereafter float for 15-20 minutes to sync the temperature. (Don't want them to end up like the peppermint shrimps)

Fingers cross... now can only wait and hope for the best...

Shrimps can be quite fragile and sensitive to differences in water temperature. When introducing them, it's best to acclimatize them by floating the bag in the tank and gradually adding/displacing some water into the bag to reduce the shock they will feel when released into the tank. It's not the best analogy but just imagine if you suddenly go under a cold or hot shower. Our initial reaction would be shock too although I think the shrimps can't take or cope with such shocks at all.

remember berghia nudis pray solely on aiptasia, once they finish eating them, they will starve. good luck!

Noted.

When I added the berghia, the first thing it did was NOT to eat the aiptasia but lay eggs!

Will wait and see if the aiptasia will reduce...

Yeah, I found out the hard & expensive way... seems like shrimps are more "fragile" then fishes.
