Hello all, I'm finally pretty well done adding my refugium, got some chaeto at my LFS, already have removed 2 aptasia manually. Is there any way to get rid of it all? There's no way I can inspect all of the chaeto and today I caught one running for the return pump, which means it navigated the baffles in its quest! Don't want any to make it to the main display

Yes you can by keep removing them.
I tried to dip it once in a kalkwasser solution.
At the end I just dumped the whole ball in the trash and got myself a different ball a chaeto from a local reefer without the aptasia.
