any advance in fighting aiptasia on the last 5 years?

[Acanholic]

old trouble with the same old solutions. Can't find anything new on how to fight this pest. Do you know something new?

Only things I know of are
File fish
Copperband butterfly
Peppermint shrimp
Salt directly on the anemone (or was this for majanos? )

I just tried the lemon juice injection , have to wait and see what happens. After injecting a few good size ones, my green brittle star rushed over and looked like he was tearing them from the rock. Is this ok, anyone ever seen or heard of this?

This is the newest and easiest way to kill aiptasia, but it comes with a high cost to you, the correct lasers cost a bloody fortune.

Peppermint shrimp do wonders for me. i only have two in my 57 gallon and went from full aptasia to zero!

 

[Acanholic]

Great idea but who wants to battle aptasia everyday??? The laser will only help for the ones you see so there for you will never get rid of all of them. my .02 its a waste of money

Finnadict that NaOH system is awesome. I had 6 of those *******s. All of them are gone now leaving no trace as well as an actinodiscus problem. Thanks a lot. It works like a charm. I was careful. No collateral damage.

The most effrective method is Berghia nudibranchs they are the natural preditors of aptasia

I've done syringe and vinegar worked well for me ! But now I just have a spot on reef and they won't grow in a clean reef , I've tried to put em in and they just won't stay.

Berghia Nudies have worked for me in the past but the last couple of times I have tried they didnt seem to do the job or one of my fish was eating them. I ended up turning to aptisa X and it worked fast.. I still have a couple pop out every now and then but always have the stuff on hand to keep them under control. Best move I did. Those lasers make me nervous. Im scared i might either burn a coral or fish. As well as do something to the integrity of the tank glass itself.. Its also expensive..
