One aiptasia must have come in on a coral, and now I have several of these basterds !
I had no luck killing them back in the 90's with utilizing most of the DIY's, Kalk etc....with limited killing.

So, I now see that some laser pointers are helping, but the prices are enormous, being $200-$400 !

Are there any lower cost lasers that work ?

Do any hobbyist's here have one for rent or from a group buy ?

It takes a $200+ laser AND $100 pair of glasses for your eyes. I have one, its effectiveness is not much better than Red Sea aiptasia x or natural predators but it IS 100 times more dangerous. Berghia eating nudis work for a massive infestation, peppermint shrimp for a lesser infestation. Stick with Kalk or aiptasia x for just a few and be relentless. Some people say peps don't work, I qt everything before adding to my display so I just don't feed the shrimp for a day and then put an aiptasia infested rock in their tank, they'll eat the aiptasia
