Lemon juice does work. Thats how I kill them now. You inject them in the stalk with the juice and can watch them dissolve away right in front of you.

Up to you, I won't spend that kind of money for a laser for mine. I've been shooting them with the juice for a couple of years now, when I can get at them. I just thought the laser would be an easy way to shoot the ones you can't get at.
I will see if I have any buddies that have one though, never hurts to find out.
Its a diabetic syringe. I have a friend in the medical field.

I have a copperband in my 280 to control aptasia. I have lps, sps anemones and zoas. Only thing he ate was my clam and all the aptasia. Also if you have a big enough tank sailfin tangs mow bubble algae down. Also my copperband now eats brine with spirulina, pe mysis and food mixes. He is fat and healthy. I have my own theory if you get a juvenile they are more apt to changing their diet or can be taught what to eat. I have not had luck in the past with adults. Just my experience and good to keep in mind all fish have different personalities and may do otherwise in another tank. Call me lucky with mine.

I believe it's just the lime. Bought items for removing them are pure kalk (lime water) , just more in it. I make my own by mixing kalk with distilled water. Just make it the constancy of pudding!

You guys are killing me. Should I make a video for you to see them dying, using just plain old Lemon Juice? Just lil old normal bottle of Lemon Juice you get at Walmart. Im not kidding.
You fill that critter with the juice and the thing will dissolve right in front of your eyes. I just killed one last night. Its not difficult, if you don't believe me, go try it. Myth dismissed.

Walk into cvs asked for needles showed them the video. And they have me a. 10 pack for 3 bucks
ROFL. Nice!!
When injecting the Aiptasia, you want it in them, once you've filled it up, you will see it start to smoke outside the Nem, thats when your done injecting. So what gets out around the other corals is minimal, and shouldn't affect them.

Right on. I'll give that one a shot also.
