aiptasia control

[dave3d]

Any tips for controlling aiptasia in a mantis tank? Trying to inject them with kalk paste or joes juice is a dangerous undertaking in a small tank with an aggressive animal. Controlling it with something like a peppermint shrimp wouldn't work out very well for the peppermint shrimp. So what methods work in a mantis tank?

What would really help out would be a long syring with an angled tip to inject joes juice at a safe distance. If anyone knows of such a device please let me know where you found it.

If you get some Joes juice and attach a small diameter tubing to the end maybe 1/8" or 1/16" you could use that. Some place like McMaster Carr would have it and you can look them up on line.
You also try some of these but I am not sure if the mantis would dine on them or not.

Be careful with those nudis as they will eat your zoos pretty quick.
