Aiptasia nightmare :l

[Lorinxo]

Wondering if I should just take the live rock out of the tank and put in a bucket of RODI water (not mixed with salt)... then inject them with the Aiptasia X that way? I’ve went in several times with Aiptasia X and killed tons that way.. but it’s just not getting better and there are so many that i can’t reach on the back side of my live rock. Any suggestions? I’m considering taking the live rock out one by one to kill that way.. or could I just bleach the LR? Or is that a bad idea since that will kill all the bacteria too??

Thanks in advance!!

I would consider buying some Berghia nudibranchs. If you have a wrasse or a fish that likes to hunt your rocks you might not want to try it. If you buy the "right" kind of peppermint shrimp, they go to town on them too!

Are they only on 1 rock? If so, I'd pull it and treat it.

I encourage you to try F-Aiptasia Killer by @Frank’s Tanks.

Add an aptaisia eating file fish cleared mine in weeks. Constantly picking at them.
