Aiptasia. Remove!

Aiptasia. Remove!

easier said then done! Don't treat it with Aiptasia X or similar products as it will only make it spread. I think there's a new product called F Aiptasia that works well but haven't tried it yet myself.

read up about them before making a move or you will only make it worst.

Oh gosh!! I’m on it...

Why the urgency to remove? What will happen?

Is it on your live rock?

They can spread like weeds and most of all can do damage to your corals

Not on the rock. It showed up after several weeks on a coral frag I introduced.

I just ordered F Aiptasia. I’ll report back on its success

I just had that happened to me, easiest way for me to remove it was I removed the coral from the frag plug and relocated the coral. Remember if you can, QT this stuff so you won’t infect your DT. Apstasia is not bad compared to other things you can introduce

I’ve used aptasia X with success. Gotta get it in their mouth before they close up. Gotta stay after them. Peppermint shrimp also worked well.

Thank you everyone. It’s greatly appreciated
