I have had good luck with aptasia x in the past. I found the key to to get them to injest the solution, not cover them. It can be hard to do if in and odd position, but if you see the aptasia curl around and swallow the ‘x’ I have never seen one recover from it. If you slowly put the paste on the disk or tentacles it will consume it. If too fast they will just retract.
I followed your advice tonight, patient and make sure they ingest the solution. The big ones I hit all imploded. The small ones were hard to tell, but I'm pretty sure they ate the X also. Thanks for the help!
I also noticed coraline doesn't like this stuff. Bleaches it out where ever the X settles, but turns to greenish color in a couple days. Still definately worth it.

I used Aptasia X in the past, but lemon juice works better.. if you can buy a peppermint that has been fed Aptasia, you’ll be much happier.
