Aiptasia laser question!

[Waterjockey]

So what's the best way other than the laser to kill these dam things ?

Many people make an alk paste to smother them with, others us super glue, and others use aptasia eating live stock

We had good luck with aiptasia x in my daughters small tank. I think I have some I can't see in my bigger tank that keep sporating. Filefish did good at first but don't dare risk it now with more money in corals.

interesting....does it need to be a certain color? I guess what I mean is does one color work better over another?

Seems like the 445nm is what I'm seeing in most youtube vids.

Yea I noticed the same thing which is what led me to ask. Interesting. My tank has half inch glass so I'm guessing I'll probably need something at the minimum of a 2W and even then I'm not sure if it would zap anything further back in the tank.

I'll let you know what I find out. I went ahead and ordered one last night. Either I'll find out or I'll have to ask somebody here to feed my fish while I'm in jail. LOL

I'll bake you a file cake! Good luck!
