What is this hitchhiker

yeah get it out now, before it turns into a lot more.

 

Well, now.....Yep, I agree with everyone that said to get it out now. You can make some Joe's Juice by mixing Kalkwasser with a little water and putting it into a little container. I keep about an ounce of this stuff around and use it when I add new rock with aiptasia on it. I also keep a syringe with a few 1" 25 Guage needles (available at pharmacies). Just draw up and inject the aiptasia with a very small amount. Any that floats around the tank will not hurt anything. Also, I do have a few peppermint shrimp that like to feast on the pest anemone. So they get what I cannot see. And it is kind of hit and miss with peppermint shrimp, so you may want to get a few just to be sure.

Now, just a note on procuring needles from pharmacies. There is, as you are well aware, a drug problem in all of our cities. And there are individuals that get their needles (for illicit use) at pharmacies. It is not illegal anymore in the state of Washington to sell to those who are using, but laws differ from state to state. When I was first licensed, if I were to sell a syringe to an individual that shot up heroin, I would be liable for that persons death if they overdosed. We have since been protected from that situation, but I am not sure of the other 49 states. Just don't get angry if you are refused at the counter. They are just follow policy and law if you are turned away.

 

Kill it quick while its still easy

Im in agreeance. IMO aiptasia are the devil. They sting everything and cost you a ton of money in the long run.
