aiptasia on clam shell

[zoebeaglezoe]

have a squamosa with two small aiptasia on the shell one is within close range to the mantle/skin should it be a problem it doesn't touch right now that I can tell don't have very many in my system
what should I do?

You could try and scrape the aiptasia off, but any little bits of the aiptasia that escape or remain will become little aiptasias..

You could also dose the aiptaisa with a nice thick kalkwasser slurry

meltdown!

in time it will irritate the clam. put the clam in a small bowl of tank water and scrape as much of the aiptaisa off as you can then put the clam back but dont put the water from the bowl back

Follow any of the two recommendations above and do it asap, or you may lose your clam.

I would do the scrub as suggested. If the clam is bigger than 3 inches I would consider a freshwater dip also. Not the 10 minute type maybe 2 or 3 minutes. What does everybody else think?
