Eradicating one Apthasia among many Zoos

Here is one for ya. I just came home with a zoo rock.......Luna, I will post pics later......worry not. I also came home with an adult coris wrasse. But I digress.............

Within the zoo colony is a lone apthasia. How would you get rid of that one pesky dude among many cool cats without damaging the good guys?

TIA John.

 

Joes juice

 

A Peppermint Shrimp would take care of the aptasia and leave the zoas alone.

 

I had 3 peppermint shrimp, and none would touch the aiptasia. Also, you run the risk of getting a camel shrimp, which may eat your zoa's
Trust me dude, just spend the 5 bucks on some juice and be done with it. Or go cheaper and make your own. All it is is really thickly mixed kalkwasser.

 

superglue on the aiptasia

 

agree mix up some kalkwasser and get a needle and inject the pain in the a-- joes juice is also good but the last two bottles i bought had some ball type matter in it and they were supposed to replace them when i sent the bad bottles back and guess what? never heard from them again no replacement bottles no responce kalk does the same job

 

OK, that is what I was thinking. Just needed confirmation. I was a little concerned about proximity, but a thin needle would nail it pretty good. Thanks guys. John.

 

Just updating an old thread.....I mixed some Kalk with RO water, put it in a small bottle, drew it up in a syringe and injected the only remaining aiptasia I could see in the tank (It was in the midst of a bunch of Zoas.

It worked great. Nothing died except the aiptasia.

 

mix kalkwasser into paste.put in seringe.squirt a dab on aiptasia.watch aiptasia turn to liquid and drift off,never to return.
