Aiptasia issues

[clsanchez77]

Hiring workers (shrimp, fish, etc) is pretty hit and miss. Sometimes they don't have the taste for what you want to control, sometimes they get a taste for other things you want in your tank. Easy solution is to get a small syringe, mix up a thick paste of kalkwasser, and drop it on the mouth of the aiptasia. It will close up around it, and then dissolve.

I found this to be very effective with the larger accessible ones, but impossible to do on the smaller ones hidden in the recesses.

I use lime juice to kill it, n i had close to 100 plus. Got rid of all of them.

Peppermint shrimp!
MY total system is around 250g and before i tried peppermints aiptasia was taking over! a few months and they were gone! Since they are hit and miss i purchased a number of them though.
