An aiptasia story PLEASE READ WARNING!!

WARNING MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR ALL READERS. CONTAINS VIOLENCE, STRONG LANGUAGE, AND LEMON JUICE!

I got up early, headed downstairs to the kitchen. 2 cups of strong coffee. Not just 1 cup 2 cups. I grabbed the 6 lemons I bought yesterday and started slicing and squeezing the killing juice. After straining the pulp I grabbed my 10cc canon and the 20 gauge harpoon needle my doctor so kindly gave me for the mission.

I went down! There they were like always laughing at me, taunting me, terrorizing their neighbors. Bold with their heads out just asking for it. Today was the day. They were going down!

Carefully I drew the poison into the syringe. I could hear them cracking jokes. I carefully bent the needle to a 47.456 degree angle and ripped my shirt off....That was it I went in!

With all the stealth I could muster I came up from behind their leader whose headquarters were nearest to my maze brain.

Bang...right down the middle into the foot not too far...he struggled tried to rip the syringe from my hand but it was too late I infused 1.7666cc.....HAAAAAA! I could hear the maze cheer!!

Feeling invincible I moved on to the rest of the gang. Down they went one right after the other

It was over. I dried off checked my pH having lost track of the lemon juice volume I had used thinking I must have doubled my tank volume all was right in my under water world. :thumbs_up

Time to sit back and enjoy the aiptasia free ..... oh crap did I just see that... ...it couldn't be... Yup an a tough rebel sticking his head back out!!


There's always tomorrow and there's always more lemons!!

 

Glad to hear that you made it out alive Rambo

 

“M’kay, kids, you shouldn’t do drugs, m’kay, drugs are bad. You see, I was at the bottom of the barrel, I was a wreck. Why, I didn’t even care about money. I was wasting my life… You boys need to listen up, m’kay, what I’m talking about might save your life some day… Drugs are bad. You shouldn’t do drugs. If you do them, you’re bad, because drugs are bad. It’s a bad thing to do drugs, so don’t be bad by doing drugs, m’kay, that’d be bad” Mr. Mackey

Hear his words they are wise beyond his cartoon image

 

You must have nerves of steel, Dador! That sounds like a harrowing mission, one I will have to embark on some day too...

 

My God be careful!!! Be ready! Very Ready!

 

Long Live The Queen!!!!

 

LOL. Nice adventure. Glad you made it out alive

Glad you made it through that hey question ? why don't you get some infantry general Rambo AKA (peppermint shrimp ) I have 8 in my 120 and they are all over the aptasia. when I first got a 50+ pound load of rock from a friend who "lost interest" and was breaking down his reef his rock was covered in aptasia tons of it all sizes I added 6 peppermints to the 2 I had and all at once they ate all of it. Whenever I add something that has some on it the shrimp always take care of it.

 

Got 6 the other day! They were overwhelmed by the enemy forces. They radioed me last night for Lemon juice cover! Hopefully, I got there in time. We'll see what they're made of now!

 

So Im assuming that lemon juice is reef safe? I have a couple of those things and wanted to get ride of them. That was a scary story, I have no finger nails left.;D
