    Whenever I see any Aiptasias or Majano's in my tanks, I inject TM Elimi-Aiptas directly into the stalk as opposed to into the mouth. I find that the product has a better kill rate when injected into the stalk rather than the mouth.

    I have always used Aiptasia X it is amazing. Just hit like 4 or five every few days and you'll kill them very easily. Very cheap and works everytime. Seriously, this will cure the whole problem.

    What you want to do is stick the tip into the things mouth and then squirt away. Make sure to get the whole thing covered and get the base good.

    The reason I say kill only a few every so often is because you don't want too much of the chemical in your tank because it maybe could lead to hurting your corals? I've never had this problem but this is advice I've heard from other people.

    Good luck!
