Aiptasia

[randy4083]

I just found aiptasia in my 55 gallon tank and if only see 1 right now and it's not that big and it goes into the hole in the live rock when I touch it with something and it's really fast so what is the best way to get rid of it because I read bad stuff about the chemicals and I can't get any berghia nudibranch until the beginning of the week sometime so what should I do??any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Here's a picture of it

Superglue or boiling water (put in syringe to target).

Will superglue kill it or just trap it

Yes superglue the hole it is in and you will never see it again.
It will die

Will peppermint shrimp eat them like I've read on the Internet

Or your saying if you boil rodi water and you can use a syringe to blast the boiling water on it

Yes to your boiling water comment, peppermints are hit and miss. Superglue imo works best, bye bye never see it again. I'll be doing a video on this method in a week.

So you just take regular superglue and go into the tank with the superglue and close the whole up

I'm new, is aphasia a live living thing?

 

[randy4083]

Yeah it's a type of anemone but it's a bad one and they can sting your corals you have to get rid of them

 

[webbrage]

sounds nasty

 

[twilliard]

They really aren't Nast they just reproduce rapidly in a good environment

If I can reach them I always use the super glue method. If you cannot get to the area the aptasia is the best method will be nutibranchs.
