Hello everyone !

I found my first aptasia on the sand bed. I figured out it came from the mushroom rock I bought a few weeks ago. The mushroom rock is ISOLATED from my main rock.

I removed the aptasia along with the sand. I also removed the mushroom rock to different tank.

Am I safe from aptasia ? Or it can still spread elsewhere. I have not seen any others yet

Glad you were able to get that one ,time will tell if there's more...
 
Keep it simple - Using a syringe or pipette, inject either lemon juice or better yet. . kalkwasser powder mixed with tank water into a paste the consistency of toothpaste and inject into the very center core and it will melt away
