Good ideaSince it’s on a plug, I’d just pull it out and cover the aiptasia under a blob of superglue. That way it won’t hurt the zoas but still kill the aiptasia and seal it in preventing it from spreading.
I would put the frag in a container of tank water, use tweezers and pull it off at its base. Then dip the frag and put it back in the tank. Is this the only one you see? They spread like crazy and if you attempt to pull it off in the tank it will DEFINITELY spread.F Aptasia, Aptasia X, kalk paste, peppermint shrimp, etc. You have options.
So I’ve heard mixed reviews on this-Aiptasia-X has worked great for me every time!
Well, I should have read a little more in depth to your original post. I have never had Aiptasia on a frag. So I have no experience there. It is reef safe so I would be willing to bet that your coral would be just fine.So I’ve heard mixed reviews on this-
I would still pull the coral if you can before applying
Some people say if you use certain aiptasia stuff that it ticks them off and they multiply

Great, you should be able to get it out, as I mentioned, into a small, workable container and remove the aptasia, then dip the coral.yes it’s the only one
Ahh, okay, well, I have heard that injecting them straight into their center with practically boiling water can kill them. The one thing you definitely do NOT want to do is try to pull it off. It will only spread dramatically at that point. Have you tried getting a peppermint shrimp? I hear they eat them. But I have no first hand experience at that.So unfortunately i’ve tried literally everything to get it off the rock it’s on but i stupidly glued it too hard to the rock it’s on and that rock i can’t move without really disturbing other corals and the rock structure
i got it!So unfortunately i’ve tried literally everything to get it off the rock it’s on but i stupidly glued it too hard to the rock it’s on and that rock i can’t move without really disturbing other corals and the rock structure
one thing is once i took it out the aptasia like shrunk up and i just can’t see it anywhere on the frag. i feel like refragging is the safest option at this point but i’ve never done that before nor do i have plugs. I decided to spread super glue pretty much every spot that there wasn’t a polyp coming out it was just difficult there were a lot of small ones hidden in between the bigger ones I couldn’t pinpoint exactly where the aiptasia was coming out fromGreat, you should be able to get it out, as I mentioned, into a small, workable container and remove the aptasia, then dip the coral.
