Aiptasia's. BOILING water, STILL ALIVE !!!

We have a pearl bubble coral that has several aphasia's on the rock it's on.
We took it out of the display and boiled some water and dipped only the rock into the pot for just 5 seconds,
then also used a syringe with the boiling water. Today,...their all still alive !

HOW ???

Try a little pen torch on the Aiptasia. Torching them works great. That's what I do. Torch them until they shrivel up and start boiling into nothing. Works every time.

I watch this boiling water video, but he did this under water, and killed them, so with ours out of water, in the 212 degree water, and they still survived ?

Be careful boiling rocks. It can be dangerous if you inhale fumes.

+1 I would imagine torching them would be just as bad.
