Will it kill aptasia?
From my understanding this insecticide attacks the central nervous system. Anything with a nervous system can and will be effected. The corals aren't effected at all because they don't have a nervous system. The same should go for the anemones.
As far as amount and time I have read testimonials that were anywhere from 3ml per 8oz-15ml per 8oz. And also 5-30 minutes.
There may be other factors with why people have lost corals when using this for a dip. I have not read anything about the effects on Ph, salinity or alkalinity. Any of these can swing during the dip and cause a loss. Now I have interested myself into finding out what exactly changes with the water chemistry with this dip.
I myself have lost a couple sps after I dipped. But I believe the reason for that was a spike in nitrate caused by all of my pods as well as lots of other things dying in my tank. I dipped, rinsed 3 times and put them back into the tank. Everything had frag plugs or rock bases from being maricultured. I assume the plugs and rock bases held onto some of the insecticide and it leached back out. This is why I mentioned rinse rinse rinse rinse....
