Just found one tiny little Aptasia on my Zoa rock. Whats the best way to go about it?

    i bought joes juice but the syringe had a rather large opening and I hit my zoas. I was kinda upset b/c I just paid like 30 bucks for a zoa frag (loved the colors) but they started opening after about a week thank god.

    Yup you can get some on your zoas, I did and they did open back up. But I also found if you touch the ones around the Aptasia they will close up, then you can squirt the Aptasia and even if some gets on the zoas there closed. They open right back up when I do it this way.

    can you get to it to scrape it off and then suck up the dead body in a turkey baster? i wouldnt get peps unless you had an all out infestation. they can pick on snails and other inverts...they arent all that cool either except that they do that rock back and forth thing.
