super glue and Aptasia

[GreenPuffers]

so do you think superglueing aptasia into their holes would work? I have some tiny hitchhikers that are too small to inject with anything, So I thought when they suck into the holes they are living in I could glue them over.

Peppermint shrimp not doing it for ya?

I added one to my tank and my aiptasia was gone literally the same night.

Won't be able to cause the glue will skin over immediately on coming in contact with the water. You can try..

I found epoxy works best. Get a nice sized ball and just push it down on them.

Sometimes Peppermint Shrimp will eat aiptasia. Not all of the time.

I would recommended against any shrimps. They tend to eat all my snails especially a thriving population of Stomatella in my tank, even cleaner shrimps.
I feed my aptasia kalk paste and use to part epoxy and cover them. Often, the rock are porous and cover one place, the aptasia can pot up at another opening. If this happen, I just plug it again.
This keep them in check. Right now my tank is too small for other biological control. Manual control in a small tank seem to work the best.
