    aptasia - tried to kill it once with boiling lemon juice injection. thought I got it and the cleaner shrimp snatched up a bunch of pieces out of the hole in the rock. now its back with a friend. they are on a frag plug, small hole. I could cut the birdsnest off the plug and put it to rock. Or, I was thinking I could glaze over their hole when they retract with super glue! Like pouring cement over them. frozen in time.. any ideas? ;D

    What I do is cut a hole around them and pop part of the rock they are on off. I then fill it with gel superglue to make sure any possible remnant is unable to reach water.
