Is this aptasia and if so what should I do about it?
Right next to the 2 zoas that are closed

sorry i can’t figure how to get a good picture while zoomed in lol. what would you recommend? i’ve seen the stuff you can spray/ inject on them but it’s right next to all of those zoas and I assume it could kill them aswell.

no necessarily. some people say kalk paste but i had that kill the stuff next to it. you could try the boiling water in a syringe trick. just make sure the water is boiling and suck up a syringe full and jab it as far into the aiptasia as you can and let er rip! i use the whole syringe and dont just blast it in full force but a nice steady stream. good luck!

I just superglue over them. You still have to be careful about surrounding organisms, but it's probably less dangerous than kalk or boiling water. If you completely cover the Aiptasia it's 100% effective. They make it even easier when they retract. You can remove the blob of glue a few days later if you want.

Ohhhh no way. I’ve never heard that before actually. That wouldn’t be too bad of an idea since it’s so small also. i’ll see if that works first
