I am new to reef keeping and unfortunately acquired an aiptasia ( one that I’m aware of). I hit it with aiptasia x. Now I’ve noticed four little buds that I think she developing spores. I asked my lfs about these nudis but was told no because if they die they would poison the entire tank. Please elaborate as I would like something that would police the tank for developing spores before this becomes an issue.
It would seem that everyone has a different remedy that works for them. Ime non of them worked and most made things worse. This thread was a last chance to ask the masses if there was something i missed.
Funny thing, I remember a system I had many years ago had an Lps coral I bought that was on a little rock. After a couple weeks it grew an aiptasia on one side. It was there for years with out spreading moving multiplying.
I never missed with it was on the backside the lps grew the other way, no issue.
A buddy I used the watch after the tanks while on vacation said he took care of it for me, when i got back. (Mojo wond). A month later I had little aiptasia on rocks, glass, in overflow, sump, etc.
Seemed fine until it was messed with. I broke that tank down, so after.
I have tried nudis, peppermint shrimp, mojo wand, cutting them off rocks, gluing them in rocks, file fish, aiptasia x, everything I tried would offer short term fixes only for thr return to be multipled.
So for me Im starting over.
Dry out, acid and bleach start fresh. Thats just me.
