    Really works great, causes a small PH problem in the area your injecting the buggers. If you do it over the span of a few days the acid will be diluted and it wont cause any problems. In my experience its one treatment, one kill, and for the price of a bottle of vinegar you can't go wrong! Personally I steal diabetic needles from my mother in law (but you can get at any in store pharmacy w/o problems) and inject them into their stem.

    For aiptasia, I usually use Kawlk mixture or, If you want to make another addition to your tank, the peppermint shrimp, copperband butterflyfish(Not Reef Safe), Bristle Tail Filefish or my weapon of choice; Berghia Sea Slugs they feed primarily on aiptasia and would die without it.
