what the heck @Spare time! Literally seconds before my post lol
Super glue is the best way to kill it. You can't let any of its polyp escape. I've kept a commercial system free of aiptasia without a QT by simply doing searches on every shift and using superglue.
DO NOT use aiptasia X or similar. It needs to be encased and trapped.
How tidy do I have to be with the superglue? I don't want to harm any polyps, but I am ridiculously bad at and freakishly weak when it comes to squeezing the superglue bottle. Like, I have to use two hands. ;FacepalmQuickest, easiest, and cleanest method to deal with aptasia imo is superglue. Seal them in a little cyanoacrylate tomb.
I found that using superglue if you don’t completely cover it and I mean completely it will come out of the tiniest hole.How tidy do I have to be with the superglue?

take the peppermint and.......
This is one thing I haven’t had In a few years. .Assuming it's a yes, should I manually remove or treat with a product? It's the first I've seen, but I assume it's like a cockroach. :| Should I assume there's more?
I do have a peppermint shrimp coming tomorrow. Good timing.
Ugh! My nightmare, second only to fireworms.This is one thing I haven’t had In a few years. .
would gladly trade for the red flatworms I picked up from somewhere
Step aside, foosball! ;HilariousFlame on
If it's on the frag plug, try to see if you can dismount the frag from the plug and glue it elsewhere. It's better/easier to remove the coral from the plug if you can than try to remove the nasty creature which sends in spores when it gets stressed out.Ugh! My nightmare, second only to fireworms.

Also put reef safe super glue on spot.It looks like the coral and frag plug is in the sand bed by itself. Take the coral out of the tank, remove the aiptasia outside of the tank, and then add the coral back to the tank.

YES! I have tried all the remedies out there. But my current tank is aiptasia free! Over the years a few have made their way in and I simply cover them with superglue. they die and there is no spread.
