Aiptasia...

[Congaken]

Seem to have a fringe of aiptasia around my monticap...I've tried using Tropic Marine Elimi-Aiptas...little success...scraping them with the hopes that they will go into the filter also didn't seem to help...SUGGESTIONS?... they are the little 1mm size...just came in with a new coral from Reef-a-Palooza...thanks...

Super glue

Also by scraping they can multiply.

Super glue

just rub it on with my finger?

I lift the rock out, glue, then allow the water to set the glue. Works like a charm every time.

With a glove on you can
But yes you can layer the superglue right on them

A peppermint shrimp will eat them all up too, if you want to go a more natural route

that coral is glued in mightily...I just rubbed glue along its edge in situ...(good word, huh?)...looks like it will work...

^^This gets my vote. If it doesn't work, there are more aggressive options you can try.

My tank isn't infested but I do get a few here and there, and take care of them right away with Aptasia-X. I tried Peppermint, but my Melanurus made a snack of them before they could do anything.

Bowen...if you turn your head, you'll see my tank as of this week...unfortunately, had a disaster yesterday...lost my tailspot and purple firefish...royal gramma is so-so...got lots of help and it seems that I used the bottled coral food which somehow tanked the tank...corals are fine and we'll see...my ywg's are fine...I guess that you know as well as I how quickly the 10 can go south...well...upwards and onwards...Ken
