Just for clarification. I'm not sure it's crustaceans at all . Could be bacteria, a dinoflagellate or ... I do know that Aussie lordhowensis will be attacked by peppermint shrimp(lystmata wundermani) and then there seems to be no return once they start to deteriorate. I'd love to hear if anyone did a microscopic examination. Nonetheless, the anecdotal successes with interceptor treatments seem very credible.

BTW .The bangai I have in my 120 hunts most of the night under some intermittent mild lunar lighting. I have some boisterous fish in there and the bangai doesn't shy away from them at all.
