Advice on Aiptasia

[PapaBear941]

Hello All,

So I’m looking for some advice. I picked up this zoa frag about 2 months ago from an online auction, and all seemed to be going well until this guy showed up out of nowhere.

So far it seems to be the only one.

Do I just eat the cost of the frag and throw it away so there’s no reproduction, what would you do?

Can you remove the frag to treat it?

Remove the plug, cut the corner off with the aptasia, rinse and regular…. Fingers crossed…I swear if you even look at the picture you got one in ur tank jk

I’ve heard aptasiaF works well, not sure if it’s Zia safe. A filefish would also take care of it.

Fish-less tank, no plans for fish, just corals.

Not sure how to go about doing that, never done it before.

My initial thoughts would be to try and cut the frag off with a razor blade/snap blade, and then try and figure out where its housed itself. Ive never fragged anything though, so I dont even have any tools to do anything like that.
