so i had a really nice pandora piece and it had aiptasia on the bottom. I reacted and threw it RIGHT into compost but i missed the super glue. How long does it take for aiptasia to shoot out its eggs and get into my tank

Months. I had 1 - I removed it - added nothing else. some showed upThere is not a way to really answer that. They can spread just from a piece of it being left, but also by releasing "spores". Theoretically it could have done so 1 second after entering tank.
+1I don’t think there’s much to worry about if you deal with one when you see it. Let it get out of control and it’s a problem.
When I got rid of him they popped upI had a couple about 6 months ago. Got a peppermint shrimp and haven't seen them since. I have not seen the shrimp either.
I threw it away... my favorite zoa tooI swear by peppermint shrimp. I had an aiptasia garden and purchased 4 shrimp and they went to work immediately. Took them about 3 weeks or so to clear the tank.
iYou just can't let a piece of it survive. People often make more of them when part of the polyp rolls somewhere else. That is why superglue all over them is the best way to stop them from spreading. It takes about 14 days for the aiptasia to wholly form after being split off.
