Aiptasia?

[Iggy305]

Pretty straight forward folks does this appear to be Aiptasia? I think it is, but I'm still getting my feet wet in the wonderful world of reefing.

 

[lapin]

yes

 

[Iggy305]

Thanks! Pretty sure it was, peppermint shrimp is inbound.

 

[Sleeping Giant]

You bet it is

With any luck it’s on a bit of rock that you can take out and nuke. Looks like it from here.

Peppermint shrimp not strong enough, destroy it with fire.

I'm actually not joking too much... if that's the only aiptasia you have so far, I might try and pull the rock that it's on out of the tank and just completely annihilate it while it's out of the tank. Pour boiling water over it, superglue it into its tube, and then cover that over with a dab of epoxy. Or any other way you might have to destroy it... high-powered laser, flamethrower, hydrochloric acid...

Aptaisia.

I would take that little rock out and scrub it or leave it out. Usually if there is 1 you can see there is more you can't. The peppermint should take care of those!

Just took out the rock, but its a good excuse for yet another critter. So peppermint shrimp is still going in.

Aptaisia.

You beat me to it, was just about to post that gif.

Peppermint shrimp will help you out. But I like the torch method.

Happy to report that at least that Aiptasia is not coming back. Let’s just say thing got too hot. Thanks again folks.

Boiled, not microwaved?

Boiled, multiple times. It’s a real small piece of rock, a little bigger than rubble so not even that worried about retuning it to my tank in a hurry.
