whats the best way to get him out w/o taknig the rockwork apart??

 

[Wrassemeister]

stab him with a hypodermic needle full of kalk, or lemon juice, or joes juice. or buy a peppermint shrimp.

revenge i meet you at the cmas meeting! i use joe's juise for a while then went to a copper band-week later can't find one and got a beatiful fish to boot!

 

[revenge53142]

will any type of needle work?

cause we give animal vacines at my work
could i grab a needle from there?

 

[Pufferpunk]

I got mine from my vet. If you're gonna dose something thick like Joe's Juice or kalk, get a large hole neeedle. Lemon juice--doesn't matter what size.

You can use a regular needle. Stick it into the hole that the aptasia is in and grind it around in there. The only catch is that you need to suck out the remains or I have been told it can cause problems. This method is not 100% but if you don't have a needle laying around it works I have also used pepermint shrimp with success.

Boiling RO water fired into the hole with a turkey baster has always worked well for me....

i tried the same method <b>RandalB</b> but i used kalkwasser to shoot it through the hole it works better though

 

[newnano]

i used the kalk method and a dripper for a refractometer and get in as close as possible to it and before it senses you and closes shoot the kalk in there. i also had success with finding a peppermint shrimp that eats it. i heard they dont all eat it but my first one did.

 

[MrMexReefer]

lemon juice works like a charm for me, after some practice... besides, its fun to watch them die.

 

[revenge53142]

do you think if i jab the needle in there i would be able
to just suck out his jellatin carcuss
gosh im lazy
i dont see any more right now though
i dont really understand how it got there so quick

ARE THERE MORE OF THESE IN MY TANK????

 

[newnano]

my peppermint shrimp took care of mine pretty quick. i would say a cpl weeks. i was suprised
