Get some joes juice you squirt a little near the mouth of the aiptasia and it will kill it

Over the years I have used kalkwasser injections, hot water, and lemon juice.
And then I tried this product.

And I have to say that it works great with one treatment.

hth,

Aiptasia-X for sure. I used it to get rid of the problem I had.

Also, you can use hot RO/DI water as well

I'd love to have a high powered laser. I have ONE aiptasia that has been in the same rock for at least 8 months. I've removed the rock several times to get him, but somehow it disappears. Fortunately it has never reproduced, maybe because it is surrounded by Zoa's.

I suggest you read up on aiptasia before doing anything. Make sure you understand how trhey reproduce. I've used just about everything to get rid of them but have found their 'spores' ultimately find their way into places you simply cannot reach --- like overflows and behind rockwork. When I only have a few I use Aiptasia-X with some success but when things start getting out-of-control I order some berghia nudibranches. 100% effective if not a tad expensive.
