Aiptasia on Zoa piece.

[Scribe]

I have two aphasia on a frag of Zoas. I've got some peppermint shrimp who currently seem to have no interest in the aptasia. Just wondering if I should place some kalk on the aphasia, but wondering how that will affect the Zoas. Any suggestions?

can you pull the zoas out and do a manual removal and then fresh H2O rinse?

syringe with some lemon juice into their mouths works

Yeah. I can definitely pull them out. Didn't know if pulling them off manually would work permanently or just temporarily. I will give it a shot. Thanksmformthe tips. Will update with results. Thanks again. Much appreciated.

I've had good success with the lemon juice too!!

Lemon juice never worked for me, nor aiptasia x

I had success with peppermint shrimp. I also hear berghia nudibranch works as well

 

[always reefin]

problem is, if you have those you most likely have others

aiptasia x all I've used with Great success!!

Berghia were the only thing that 100% solved it

Aiptasia X didn't work for me.

Yes, it killed the ones I used it on, however, the result was a sprouting of about 20 more babies like a week later.

Just pulled out the piece of zoos with two aptasias on it. Couldn't tell where they were once I pulled them out. Pulled what I thought might be them and glued them with the attached polyps to a different piece. Hopefully I can narrow it down at least. On the bright side, had another larger one on a Fabian frag. Got that one no problem. Just hoping I can see them again before they spread.
