    FWIW, I've had a few aiptasia in my tank for over a year... I just haven't gotten around to killing them all yet...

    Thank you for the warning, i did take as much precautions as i could. Saftey gogles gloves, resperator (for drywalling), as well as long sleeve shirt. I succesfully broke off the part that the aiptasia/mojano was on and replaced the coral back in the tank. I will be inspecting again tonight with my red light to see if i can find anything else. Hopfully i did not get poisioned with the palytoxin

    i would try to remove in case they are like the fireworms and the aptasia will spread until you kill it so buy like any aptesia killer like "joe's juice" works really well.
