I appreciate that man thanks. Check out post #18
I added the aiptasia x to the small one i found as well do you think that will do? Ill be checking how the zoa look later today!
picture ? what are we looking at?Quick UPDATE i think the aipstasia x did the job however i think it may have effected the zoas in this cluster where i put the solution. I noticed the zoas near the solution have not opened and they look a little shriveled. I may have killed those. What do you guys think? Did i mess up?? Im concerned Theres a chance some particles floated over the zoas slightly from me shaking when i did this but i had to put the aptaisa x where i did because as you can see in previous photos it was literally right in between these things already stinging all the ones around it
Okay so in my last post theres a picture. Ill post it again if you did not see. The aiptasia x is obviously still on the coral. But if you look at where the solution is all the zoas around it seem to be closed and not showing signs of opening. When i applied the aip x yesterday most of the zoa on that side closed up. All the ones on the back were still open. Today some of the zoa began opening again even the ones that were being stung to the left. But yesterday the aip moved to where you now see all the aip x solution. However those particular ones are not opening. Do you think i killed them? Also i found a small one starting to grow on one of the polyps so i kinda had to hit that one. Will the zoa that are closed now bounce back? Are they dead? Should i remove those? Will new ones grow back and will the zoa continue to spread?
This is pagodaA Pagoda Cup Coral. Very common.
take it out, swish in bowl of tank water,
Top object aptasia= Using syringe, inject either lemon juice or better yet. . kalkwasser powder mixed with tank water into a paste the consistency of toothpaste and inject into the very center core and it will melt awayHey all! Thanks so much for all the advice so i purchased some aipstasia x today and used it i dont know how successful it will be but im trying to stay on top of this as after you guys pointing it out to me being new to the hobby ive been very worried every since it was mentioned and i dont want to loose control of it spreading. So i made a very interesting discovery earlier. Could someone tell me what im looking at here on my zoas now?! Is this a smaller aiptasia?! I hit it with the aiptasia x just to be safe it looked like a premature aiptasia growing in. Did i over do it with the aptasia x?? Will my zoas bounce back? They all curled up after applying the solution.
I used a reef glue to glue it to the rock and its not exactly on a plug they are on what looks like a small clam or something similar. I was just curious if i should try to remove the damaged polyps. Because they do look as tho they have been killed unless they open up in another day or so?
I used a reef glue as instructed by my local shop to glue it in place so it would not be moved. Perhaps i can use like a turkey baster to blow off the aip x thats left?
