So... I got aiptasia growing within my glove polyps, which kinda makes it hard to deal with that individual.

While I figure out what to do with it (berghia is probably the best option at this point...), I am curious. I recall people mentioned glove polyps being super aggro and fighting off their anemone before.

Wondering if anyone had experience with aiptasia vs. glove polyps, and which comes out on top in the end? XD
 
I would pull the frag and cover the aiptasia in super glue

Guess that means the glove polyp won't hold until I get berghias then. Yeah will try to do that. My main problem is picking out the aiptasia. These guys shrink to like nothing the moment they are startled, so annoying to find them. >_<
 
Dip the frag in sulfuric acid for 1 hour, then sit it in the sun 6 days as far from the tank as you can. After that, drive it to the local landfill and throw it as far as you can!
