Hey guys
I have a quick question I’m currently battling aiptasia breakout in my tank. Now I have one touching my Kenya tree and 4 in between my paly/zoa colony is it possible that there releasing toxins in the tank from the sting of the aiptasia ?

No toxins from Aptasia. If there are a few, Using a syringe, 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 each will melt away

Thank you for the quick reply ! Did ve tried kalk paste I made it worse unfortunately since I didn’t completely do it correct….

I have nudibranch working on this I have about 70+ aiptasia.

I have other LPS corals in my tank that are not looking grest Duncan, hammer candy cane . The paly/zoa colony are actually melting/dying from the aiptasia imbedded in them could the dying coral be releasing toxin in the water that are effecting other coral ?
