Aiptasia Grow out?

Find a piece of rock with Aiptasia, put in tank :) Proceed as normal.
In all seriousness, I feel like if you get them in a tank just treat it as a normal saltwater tank, they'll grow and reproduce.

Yea...just trying to maximize space for them to grow while making it easy to remove and move them. For example, should I fill it up with rock for them to grow on or just let them fill up the glass? Maybe some random PVC pieces to grow on, etc.
I've been growing them for years lol. They grow very well in all of my sumps and overflows. Size and water parameters don't seem to matter and they are not at all picky about lighting.
I'd fill it up with lots of small rubble then, creates lots of crevices for them to dig into and stay, as well as moveable surface area.
maybe some different eggcrate shelves with more on them.

I think I read a thread here where someone did this, and then a year later was asking how to humanely get rid of them.
Unless you like the look of aiptasia I would not do this.

Maybe they are trying to grow Nudis!

Big and strong nudis!
My experience is the best way to grow aiptasia is to try to kill them off ...
Ah. Another east coaster. We need someone out on the west coast to pump out these berghia

Seachem matrix. Just cover the bottom of the tank with it. Then you can easily pull them out and clip them off to ship out. Or 100% bare bottom and scrape them off with a razor blade.
There is a guy in Washington state growing them and nudis. He’s got probably 3-400 gallons of nudis and their food lol

Who’s that guy?
Why would you want to grow more Aiptasia? They are a major pest. The only way I found to get rid of them was to get peppermint shrimp which love to eat Aiptasia. They don't take any special care - those things start growing everywhere and can sting other corals or fish.

Step 1. Get a healthy/ thriving reef tank going.
2. Add corals, rocks, sand and everything else from many different sources.
3. Broadcast feed all your favorite nps, lps, sps corals(everything with a mouth)
4. Sit back and wait!
5. Once you see them, try to remove... scrape, pull, brush, Joe's, aiptaisiax- all instrumental in population explosion.
6. Rake up the cash
