How do YOU kill aiptaisia?

+1 on the super glue! Save yourself the time and just glue them. Philosophy is, anything that disturbs their tissue, even shrimp and fish will cause their cells to remain and spread in your system, only to potentially sprout up again. It's a pretty quick and easy fix, with a very high success rate. Do be careful with peppermint shrimp, there are many variations.

Not really bc shrimp have always worked and I haven't seen the nem return

Yea but recent studies shows that just releases the aiptasia eggs by the thousands

If they have thousands of eggs it won't take a needle to release them.

Actually yea if eaten then they can't spread

I want to try the laser so badly. Probably not as effective as a mushroom cloud but....;):D

Look for the cheap laset with lenses on eBay.
If you look at the "aptasia laser", "$$$", it's the same one as the "$" ones in eBay with lenses.

Sometimes that happens with app x and kalk paste and regular non injection treatments too.
It's a gamble. If they feel threatened they spew sometimes. That's why I really like to try to get them in the frag before the tank.
I dip , rinse , rinse , rest and the appies usually open before zoas do in the rest bin. Also when I look for eggs of other stuff too and take them off the plug if I can.

No matter what it is a gamble but your chances are better with a peppermint than anything that I know of
