aiptasia

Getting ready to add my first corals, was wondering what the best way to add them is. I don't have a QT tank so that is not an option, but I was wondering about dips or whatever your protocol is? The coral tanks from my LFS have easily visible aiptasia, sometimes on the frag itself. I want to be...

I need Aiptasia, anyone selling theirs?

Packs of 5 - 3/8” or bigger - shipped $125

Are these aiptasia that came on my sponge decorator crab? If so, how can I safely remove them without harming the crab?

Hi - here’s a clearer picture and video hopefully someone can help me. Is this aiptasia on my candy cane coral?

Have about 15-20 Berghia ready to go. Local pick up only near Naperville, IL. The picture is just an example.

It's .2-.3in (0,5cm) small, some kind of Glass anemone or Aiptasia maybe? Should I remove it? How? I have RS Aipta-X but I'm not comfortable aplying it that close to coral base, unless I get a green light from you :) Cropped image, video link below: https://photos.app.goo.gl/xMgL6VZWB912Eho18

Hey, I was gone to deep sea fishing 2 days ago and then wasn’t home much today so didn’t really pay much attention but today I came home and noticed this aiptasia. I don’t really have aiptasia in my tank, only have seen 1 piece on the underside of that same zoa which came from the person I...

Hi All, I’ve had quite the journey with Aiptasia & I decided to start this thread as a thread of support, for people currently overwhelmed by this demonic entity…. I am currently in the process of setting up a new tank - due to Aiptasia being in the old one. Instead of seeding my new tank...

Hi everybody, I set up and started (4 days ago) My first reef, today i noticed this 3 things, what are they? Are they “reef safe”? (Last pic i reefer to the “eyebrows” coming out of the rock). Thanks everyone, and nice to meet you all!

Jumping back into the hobby after a 5-year hiatus — excited to be back! I ordered 15 lbs of premium live rock from KP Aquatics, and it's been cycling for about two days now. While checking things out, I noticed what I think might be Aiptasia. Can someone help confirm? I haven’t added any fish...

Anyone know what this is? Doesn't look like aiptasia or majano or any pest anemone I've seen. Almost looks like a baby euphyllia, but I'm not sure. Has the slightest green fluorescence under blue light.

Inexperienced when it comes to Aiptasia, had a bad outbreak going and decided to use Aiptasia-X which only made them angry (I guess we used it improperly as it didn’t kill any of them) . Hundreds of more spawned in in the following weeks, I mean you could just sit there and watch them float...

Hello everyone! I have a small anemone-only tank that has some Aiptasia. Are these safe for my anemone? I know some folks dislike them alongside their coral—but this tank is coral free! If they don't harm anything I will definitely keep them. Thank you all so much for your help/advice...

Hello. I just got back from a reefing event and bought two frags from a dealer. Upon getting them home and acclamating to temp in the tank, there are very obvious aiptasia on both frags. The frags are $20 / piece so these weren't crazy purchases. I have fought the good fight against aiptasia in...

Hi guys, I got a copperband and a foxface almost a week ago. I really like copperbands and also wanted to try my hand at some more challenging fish (never again—too much anxiety! :D). Secretly, I hoped it would help with my aiptasia invasion. I already tried peppermint shrimp—they are cute but...

I have a 90 gallon reef with large softies and a good deal of RBTAs that I love. Only fish that are a concern for the topic in the tank are a 3-4" Melanurus Wrasse and Squareback Anthia. Need help on choosing between the three below natural options. (Copperband is interesting but so many horror...

5-pack of Berghia Nudibranchs for $75 Minimum 1/4in+ (but most larger) Shipping available (at expense of buyer)

Hello, I'm very new to this forum, but I joined here hoping to get some advice from experienced breeders of berghia nudibranchs. I couldn't find any sufficient information online regarding my question. I'm thinking of purchasing some berghia nudibranchs in the near future to combat the growing...

Hi everyone, it’s been a while since I’ve been active here. Life got a little crazy there for a while and sadly my tank got neglected. I’m back and trying to get things taken care of but my poor little tank has a severe aiptasia problem. Like every surface is covered in the stuff! My 2...

I found these popping up in my coral QT tank. Are they Aiptasia? Magnified because they are very small. Found on glass and in my HOB pump. I added a few coral last week (mushroom, Duncan, gorgonian), to QT and I didn’t see anything on them? They must have been so small couldn’t see them. I did a...

Genuine question, I know people tend to make aiptasia jars. From my understanding it's regular mason jars, I think I read about someone using a pickle jar. But what about an alcohol jar? Would this be OK to make an aiptasia Jar? (this one is 50mL but they come in bigger bottles) Or would the...

I've been battling aiptasia in my acro-dominated tank, which is just around 5 months old. I have ~a dozen sps frags, and a pair of rainbow acans. Several of the older acro frags are starting to encrust onto the rock or at least over the frag plug, and the acans have dropped several heads. The...

What's your favorite natural aiptasia eradication method?! I had one peppermint shrimp in a 75 gallon that disappeared and shortly after the aiptasia started to reappear. I'm thinking of trying a Copperband but have heard too many unsuccessful stories And I don't find the filefish to be the...
