Aptasia!?!?

[BNeumzy]

I recently discovered what I'm pretty sure is aptasia growing on my Biohazard Acro. It's still fairly small. Any thoughts on how to get rid of it? I've heard injecting lemon juice, covering it in glue, or getting a specific shrimp would do it...

Got a pic? Aiptasia X has worked for me on smaller ones.

Peppermint shrimps , copper band butterfly fish .. or aptasia x .. too name but a few methods for you

Aptasia x worked wonders for me. I found two very small aptasia on my new 10g.

People suggested I start over, but I had just spent almost $200 on rock sand and water, so I figured I'd try the $20 aptasia x, plus maybe I could use it down the road if any pops up on my larger tank. I hit both aptasias, and 2 months later I haven't seen any. The tank is so small, if aptasia does come back with a vengeance, it won't be the end of he world to break the tank down.

I may add a peppermint for him to find any that may pop up down the road, because I'm sure the organism is still dormant in the tank somewhere.

I will say that it's always hit and miss if peppermint shrimps eat them !
