Please someone tell me I can kill this aiptasia safely

[FishOkay]

I need to kill this aiptasia it's getting to close to the clam and giving me palpitations. I have tried aiptasia X and I can't stand the stuff, the aiptasias always come back and spread. So I really want to carefully remove this one! I have berghia nudibranch in there but they'll take to long and don't want to risk the clam

Use some glue to cover it up.

Is the rock it is in removable? If so you have a few options. Kalk paste, super glue, etc.

Either thats a tiny clam or a mutant aiptasia. But what they said. Good luck

The first time I had 2 or 3 aiptasia pop up in my tank, I bought (2) peppermint shrimp from the LFS. Next morning all aiptasia was gone. Didn't see any more for several months..... Got rid of the peppermint shrimp because they started bothering corals. Several more months go by and then out of the blue, 2 more popped up one day. Went back to LFS and got (1) Pep shrimp and it didn't touch the aips. Aips kept growing, and my new peppermint shrimp just kept ignoring them.

Decided I would squirt H202 directly into their mouths. turned off all the flow and then squirted H202 directly into their mouths. both dissolved within a few minutes. One came back after about a week, the other didn't.

Then I tried squirting lemon juice into it's mouth. Same reaction, it dissolved in a couple minutes and never came back.

Haven't seen any more since.

Not removable it's like the main structural rock holding everything together. I'm worried that using those things will make it close up beneath the zoas and then just come back.

The clam is ina cradle that can’t b moved?

 

[Andresnyc93]

Use some superglue or coral epoxy and suffocate it inside the rock. Nurdis are great but they take time and then when they wipe aptasia out you have to make sure to rehome them cause you don’t want them dying in the system.

anything you do close to your coral has risk: kalk paste is the least risky followed by a h2o2 shot or lemon juice in its mouth…I might risk vinegar nearby it also

Noo the clams attached itself to the rock that epoxy is there as hermits kept knocking it over the side

Aiptasia-X works great every time

F-Aptasia is better than the other. Its thicker and stays in place. I nuked a, yes 3" dia, one recently.

I solved my aiptasia w berghias. But u know that takes time. Mayb w a tongue depressor w some super glue gel u can get under the coral or rock where it’s hiding and entomb it.

I like what @LeftyReefer discussed. Action now or it will multiply, with or without your permission.

What would Putin do?

You should have seen the aptaisia I saw in a Petco tank the other day. They were as big as a rose!

Which Petco and How much did they want for it?

 

[FishOkay]

Okay I tried a bit of lemon juice as its all I had to hand, man I have serious aiptasia problem little ones everywhere . It did close up around the syringe and just kept puting it in. Hopefully it works, it was a biggen.

I feel like I want to try a lazer just to listen to the little s@^ts crackle and pop like my breakfast in the mornings
