aiptasia

[Earl Karl]

So somehow, a little aiptasia got into my nano. I checked all the rocks and it seems to be the only one. However, I do not want to spend money on just one aiptasia. Could I just flipped the rock and smother the aiptasia in the sand bed? Or will that just make it spread more aiptasias? This is a fairly new tank so there is no corals so far.

Remove it or you will have many more.

if you don't want to buy any remover you can blast it with boiling water in a syringe
Red sea aptisia x is quite good and often handy to have

Inside that one Aiptasia is 100-of-thousands of spores just waiting to give birth to new Aiptasia

Ok, I'll just remove the rock.
