Aiptasia???

I just found this on the back of one of my pieces of live rock.. is this an Aiptasia ? If so- I hear they are bad, how would I go about getting rid of it?

 

Yes That is Aiptasia !!!!

This is what you want.

Damn... now that I'm looking, I see a smaller one near it. Thanks for the help!

 

An easier thing instead of ordering the Joe's Juice is to go to your local Walgreen's Pharmacy and tell them your situation (Be honest so they don't think your a dope head!) and ask to get a small insulin syringe. Warm up some fresh lemon juice in the micro and shoot that into the aptasia. Has the same result for much cheaper!

 

I have been using a mixture of white vinegar and lemon juice, But it seems like you have to inject them directly with it or they don't always die. I have not used Joe's Juice yet but they say that you don't have to inject them with it you just feed them with it. ..................... John

 

My own personal recipe...hehe

boil some ro/di water (or whatever you use to topoff)
add a pinch (not literally, do not use your fingers) of kalk powder to the hot water
Use a pipette with a fine tip , move slow, get close, and squeeze!

This worked first time on my one and only aiptasia I found in my tank (they are probably lurking in the dark now tho!LOL)

 

Great.... I turned it into a receipe thread... LOL ;D

 

hehe! I also make a real mean apple cake, but I don't see how that applies here! LOL!!! ;D

 

My birthday's coming... I like apple cake...... : j/k

 

I used Joe's Juice and you just have to get a good drop on top of it and it will melt. That stuff is tenacious though. It took me a month or more to get rid of them all and a couple tough spots took a couple applications. Good luck!
