kill your Aiptasia ASAP.

So about a month ago I noticed I had ONE Aiptasia growing on a rock (that was hidden and thats why I didn't notice it before).

Well since I was too "busy"(dumb), I put off killing it.

Well guess what, Now theres dozens of little tiny ones popping up all over in my 75g.

Theres some on the glass, the sand a powerhead . Theres even one on a LIVE snail.

LOL

So now I'm pulling out all the rocks/items with Aiptasia, and spending all my time examining if other ones are sprouting up anywhere else. (and no there not featherdusters )

Peppermint shrimp did the trick for me. Can't remember, but I think it is the Atlantic variety that is known to eat Aptasia.
