Any tips on how to remove Aiptasia from an acan frag that I have with out hurting the coral?
 
Can you place the frag in a dish with tank water and use a blade to scrape it off? Rinse in additional uncantanimated tank water, otherwise any tissue left will regenerate into more Aptasia. Or, you could try encasing the Aptasia in coral glue and place into a quarantine to make sure the bond is secure. The coral will encrust over the glue in time.
