How to get rid of glass/strawberry anemone

[JealousKittens]

I have 2 small glass anemones in my tank, they were hitch hikers on my LR.
They aren't causing any issues now, however I do not want them to multiply and get out of control. This wouldn't be an issue but I only have a 14G and I do not want them to take over my tank. They are very pretty but in the long run they will need to be taken care of.
any thoughts?

You can try Aiptasia X on them. Otherwise some people have had success injecting them with boiling water or covering them with kalk paste.

Kalk paste works like a charm.

Make a thick batch heat in the microwave, cover em in it with all water movement off of course siphon kalk paste out in about 15 minutes. Has worked for me every time

A few Peppermint shrimp got rid of mine outbreak.

I had excellent results with peppermint shrimp. I didnt have more then 5 or 6 that I could see and they were all gone in a week.

Just as a side-note: Strawberry anemones are different than aiptasia (glass anemone), but the above advice to get rid of the aiptasia is sound.

^^that.

I haven't tried any commercial products on my pseudocorynactis outbreak, but I have tried injected lime juice, kalk paste, kalk/peroxide paste & they just laugh at me. :lmao:

I had total success on a couple in my tank by injecting with lemon juice. Gone the next day, and now 4 months later without seeing any new ones. Also, it didn't have any noticable effect on anything else in the tank.

Kalk paste worked good for me. Don't get it on and corals though
