aptasia on leather rock

Im currently on a mission slaying aptasia that i got with a finger leather the other week. As im getting frustrated as im finding heaps of tiny ones (only on one rock) should or could i take the coral out and gently start chiseling the aptasia rock away from the leather and toss it ?

will the air affect the coral?(when i take it outta the tank)
cheers

 

Get a few peppermint shrimp or if you have a bunch of it then a Copperband Butterfly fish.

 

do copperbands like to eat other coral?

 

I like your idea of removing rock and getting rid of it, if all aptasia on it, before they spread.

Cut finger leather off at base, and stick it in a hole someplace or tie to rock. It will do fine.

 

Don't believe so but you may get a Bast**d!

 

im looking for a small one , i have tomorrow off work so ill ring around for some peppermints aswell !!cheers for the advice

 

Be carefully when adding a copperbands as they like to pick on corals. I would do the peppermint shrimp first.

 

I also had some some aiptasia (still have one left) I boiled some vinegar and ro water and killed one, it disintegrated and floated away, but the other one made it. Im going to have to feed my coral banded shrimp to my corals and fishes considering they dont get along with peppermint

 

I would not suggest relying on shrimp or fish to get rid of these little buggers...it would be best to take matter into your own hands and kill them yourself...dramatic music? Joe's juices, I have heard works good, I myself just stick some 2 part epoxy over them.

 

joes works or you could just superglue gel over them
