Mix it to a paste....maybe a quarter teaspoon of water to a teaspoon of powder.

agreed. Whatever ratio it takes to make the heaviest paste possible that you can still suck up with the syringe. You just want it heavy enough not to blow off into the water column.

Also, if I understand it correctly, it's supposed to be dropped on top of the aptasia so that the aptasia closes around it.

Joe's Juice is similar. Drop it on the mouth, but then when it retracts, smother the whole area, otherwise you'll get a whole bunch of new ones soon!
