Aiptasia

Is Aiptasia always a never ending battle? I am constantly killing them with Aiptasia control as I see them then more pop up. Is it one of those things in tank that you just have to live with, constantly killing new ones popping up?

No its not a never ending battle but it can be a tough one. The problem is the planula, the larvae that aiptasia releases if threatend or dying. Aiptasia X by Red Sea is a good product that helps with this issue. Also, get your tank as clean as possible, as aiptasia does best in tanks with high nutrient levels
