Aiptasia?

[archer8681]

My first guess is Aiptasia. Am I correct? I posted this on the main forums also,.

Thanks all!

ouch...tough to see.....but your probably right

Might as well just get rid of it. I'll go get the shotgun, maybe Dave ESPI has an extra bag for me.
:lol:

Whip up some thick kalk paste. Take a fine needle and insert it in their mouths & squeeze. The kalk paste will nuke/ dissolve them.

Works everytime for me. I use to use Stop aiptasia, but IMO this works better.

agree with lakeside, also heard boiling water, or lemon juice works. i personally use peppermint shrimp, they usually eat them, and for bigger ones that the pepps dont get i use joes juice.

My peppermints seem to hang on the other side of the tank

I'll get some stuff tomorrow that should kill it.

Thanks guys!

this may be crude but it worked for me.... if you can take the rock out of the tank, use a solder iron to "fry" them, stinks a little but they'll never come back

Hehe, I like that idea. I have 'poked' at it, and it totally vanished into the rock. Maybe drill it out!

And of course the little bastard was eating a piece of mysis when I saw it last. That's when I poked it for stealing food that was for my clownfish.

If you don't have kalk use hydrogen peroxide with a needle. It worked pretty good for me.

Some articles I read say that the injections actually cause the aptasia to propagate in other areas. What is the success rate with these injections? i.e.: is there death at site of injection, but propagation at a close by site?

Thanks
