    +1. They get out of control quick. and you don't like shrimp, so peppermints are not an option when they do get out of control.

    Kacy - I had aiptasia hitchhike on Chaeto I bought from a LFS. Per peoples recommendations I threw it away. The fuge chamber I had, in my old fuge (2 weeks ago I got rid of the insufficient sized fuge and put in my 40gal long) had aiptasia crawling all over it. Just from that bit of chaeto. After I threw the chaeto away I wanted to see how crazy aiptasia is. I lowered the water in the fuge chamber and stopped pumping new water into it. I had dozens of aiptasia in that chamber within a couple days.

    I 200% agree with Mike. Get rid of it yesterday.... otherwise all this hardwork you've done to keep a nice new environment in this 90gal will be a waste.

    Pull the rock with the aiptasia. Your tanks too new to cause it any harm in pulling that rock, nuking it, and putting it back in.
