Hi! I've been fighting with aiptasia anemones in my inherited tank for a while now. I tried cutting them off and burning the bases, and it seemed to work temporarily, but now there are tiny anemones everywhere.
I had originally planned to get a peppermint shrimp to help with the problem, but the local fish store wasn't very helpful. (I'm in Asia, and don't speak very much of the local language. After translation and googling, they told me they don't have shrimps, maybe I could try to go to another location and ask them... I'm not sure they understood that I wanted a specific type of shrimp, either.)
I'm not sure what to do now... Should I try to burn off the anemones again? There are hundreds of tiny ones, and I'm afraid I'll miss several.
Should I continue trying to get a peppermint shrimp, or some other form of biological control?
Or is there a better solution for my situation?
