Help Aiptasia

[Triple.T]

For just a few I'd personally just use Aiptasia-X . I just recieved 10 berghia today for my problem from salty underground ( I have a little bigger problem . )

If you find yourself unable to rid them from your tank and they're multiplying, I highly suggest some berghia nudibranch. I can't say enough good things about how I recieved mine today.

I do love them,but here they are a bit expensive... I'll get soon but will get 3 only (isn't that big my problem, after will share with friend of mine, and that way they will be alive for longer, if they don't multiply :)
How big is your system @Triple.T , and how big is your problem with ?

aiptasia eating filefish is hard worker . He can eat thousands aiptasia .

Careful of the filefish he will eat the crap out of some coral. I used vinegar mixed with a little reef roids on aiptasia and instant implosion. Nuked the general area it was in but it was like a 1 inch by 1 inch spot so not too big if a deal. Reef roids to make sure the aiptasia grabs a little to try and eat it.

He can - but like many other natural solutions may not.

Mine won't touch the stuff and tests every snail or crab he sees by blowing on them. If they aren't attached strong enough and flip over they become a quick snack.

I have A 20 gallon reef tank

Easy remedy-
Using a syringe , grab either lemon juice or preferably kalkwasser powder mixed into a thin paste and inject into each one (like smothering) and you will watch them melt before your eyes

I guess you have over 100G to host 10 of them, they will clear whatever is there just really quickly, what you will do them after? 10 in 20G will eat all aiptasia for dais only (even if there is full with aiptasia).

that's right, best way is the nature to take control, but ...
Please post some photos and if can video here after you have them and put them in the tank. Please, I'll appreciate it!

My wife had some show up on a zoa frag and harass all the polyps on one side. I asked the guy I usually get my corals from and he recommended a syringe with straight lemon juice, injecting it into the base of the aiptasia. We pulled out the plug that the frag was attached to and put it in a tupperware container with some tank water. Luckily the aiptasia was easy to access in this case. Injected the ******* and it dissolved within seconds. Took a couple days for the zoas to come out and act normal again, but they’re fine now.
