Aiptacia , You think you're sleek...

Ok it is a little bit. Please help as I'm broke and can't afford to lose any corals. I hardly have any. I read someone injected theirs using a needle (Won't that make it burst and spread?)with lime juice

Joes Juice, apatasia x (with syringe) or a file fish some people have good luck with pepermint shrimp eating them thats probably the least expensive thing to try

Boil water and inject the aiptaisa as close to the mouth as you can. The aiptasia will be gone. Boiling water kills a lot of things, bacteria, weeds in the garden, and yes Aiptasia.

I use a syringe with a metal tip, a coffee cup half way full of water and microwaved for 4 minutes or so.

I have tried everything (aiptasia X, Joe's Juice, vinegar, superglue, lemon juice, aiptasia zapper wand, peppermint shrimp) boiling water is the easiest and most effective.

That sounds great but will that damage my zoas because there's a tiny one right behind the big one. BTW I've read a lot of people's comments about using everything commercial to no avail

Pickling lime (kalkwasser) paste kills them very effectively as well.
