Apitasia Help

[Rick Csekme]

I have a large reef / fish tank that Im starting to get a good amount of Apitasia in. I have a butterfly angel in quarantine almost ready to help. I have 12’’ long needles that i can use and was thinking of trying F Apitasia. Any thoughts and anything better than the other?
Again, Thank you

berghia nudibranchs will wipe out all the small ones if you give them time

F aiptasia and Aiptasia X are both good options

I did not know that. Thank you and I will try it. I thought this group was end users so I was more interested in a personal opinion / experience and not a vender influenced opinion.

Eliaslikesfish is 100% correct. Berghia nudibranch is the most sure fire way to get rid of them. Aptasia X works but will only rid the ones you can get to with a syringe. There are probably tiny ones in your rock that you can't see. these little critters will find and eat them.

The more you mess with them the more they spread! The only sure fire way is a fish or bergia that eats them… anything you inject will bring them back with a vengeance lol..

F-Aiptasia is the best in my experience. I don't use it that much for aiptasia (I only ever have to kill aiptasia when I see it on a new frag or shell and I have never had it spread into my tank in over a decade) but I use it to kill mushroom corals, which are actually also anemones. I have used other aiptasia killers but F seems to come out thicker and solidify faster. Be generous with it to be 100% sure you kill whatever you are injecting with it and be ready for multiple rounds over the course of days or weeks. I have used huge amounts at a time in a nano tank without ever overdosing. Just don't let it sit on corals if you miss.

A clownfish if that counts and a springer's. The clownfish is not mean to anyone but does bite my hand so I wear a glove when I am in the tank.
