Aiptasia help!

[johnyboy]

Hey guys

So I still have this dam aiptasia and can't seem to shake it. I used peppermint shrimps a long time ago and they seemed to do the job but now it came back. Is there an easy solutions to rid of this crap? Is there anything new on the market that helps with this? Please post any methods you think are the best and easiest and cheapest. Thanks guys!

We give ours a big slow shot of white vinegar with a hypodermic needle

If you can remove the rock it's on I'd suggest that. Scrape it off in a separate bucket. Injecting anything in the aptaisia, IME, is a temporary fix that normally leads to an outbreak later.

I have always used Aiptasia x with good results

Before I had my Copper Band Butterfly I would use Aptasia-X. I could never get rid of them, but just keep them in check from infesting my tank. I used to have a lot of small ones but now all I see is the occasional big one. The CBB eats all the small ones and the ones he can't reach grow and they are the ones I see from time to time, so I just finish them off with the Aptasia-X. I used to have to use Aptasia-X every week to keep them in check, now it's maybe once a month to get rid of that one or two rogue Aptasia that the CBB didn't get.
