aptasia,

do a search, concentrated kalk is what I used, if you can get a cheap needle and syringe they are easy to eradicate.

Are they bad for the tank

They sting corals and can reproduce like crazy. Best to get them out early. Don't just rip them out tho, that will just make them spread. Treatments to remove range from injecting lemon juice/kalkwasser to professionally made solutions, using natural predators like berghia nudibranches or even high powered lasers.

Never heard of killing them with high powered lasers, that sounds fun. Where does one get deadly high powered lasers?

I killed several last night with a pickling lime paste in a carpet syringe.

All correct, aiptasia - everyone seems to have their secret to killing them. I use a syringe/needle that cost me a whole dime I think at my local ranch supply store and some boiling water.
