Care and observations
The Rogue Mercenary (Not Reef Safe): It is the ultimate weapon against pest Aiptasia anemones. However, the moment the pests are gone, it will turn its tiny razor-sharp mouth toward your expensive Zoanthids, Acans, and Goniopora, ruthlessly biting the heads off every single polyp. It will absolutely destroy a reef tank.
