So we bought a small Zoanthid coral shortly after we got our tank up, running and alive. It's doing great, but we noticed a small anemone growing on it after a while. Thinking it was like a cool bonus, it got bigger and bigger. I found out it was an Aiptasia anemone which is an invasive species, and was told it was bad for zoanthid coral. I did notice the bigger it got, my coral wouldn't open up. Upon instructions from my local fish store person, I tried to remove it, yes the big one is gone, but now they are growing everywhere in my tank! I purchased two peppermint shrimp, and nothing has happened since we got them except one died a little over a week after we got them, and now my coral is infested with them. How can I get rid of them, especially on my coral. I was told by different pet/fish stores that Aiptasia X works great, but is it safe to use on the anemone on my coral? I seen straight lemon juice works also. But not everything read online works, so I figured someone here had a personal experience with this that could help? Don't want to kill that
