    I have blasted this rock anemone with Aiptasia X twice and it is still coming back. I have two peppermint shrimp also and they dont seem to "go" for this one. It is growing out of a deep hole in one of the LR and always tucks back in whenever there is Danger! Is the anemone really supposed to "grab hold" of the end of the syringe? i can never seem to get close enough for this to occur, so i just end up blasting it. I was thinking of just filling the whole with epoxy but wont the aiptasia just pop up somewhere else on the LR?

    Start to spray the X lightly as you approach the nem. It should think it's food and start to close around the needle. Epoxy should work just fine also though.

    I don't think so. I'm moving my tank more towards the stony corals after my gsp nightmares lately.
