glass anemones

Cold fresh water will not kill Aiptasia -- they're nearly invincible. Try kalk paste (inject into the mouth, then cover the nem completely), Joe's Juice, lemon juice (inject into base with needle & syringe) or peppermint shrimp.

There are several species sold as peppermints, I got lucky and brought home three of the Aiptasia-eating variety. They killed off every last nem, and now, long after the shrimp have disappeared, I'm still Aiptasia-free. Of course, I still have Majanos to deal with, but that's another battle entirely :rolleyes:
 
Aptasia is bad news!! Get rid of it immediately.
Inject some lemon juice into its foot, they will soon detach and you can just fish it out of the water. Make sure not to tear its foot with the syringe.
