My Very First Aiptasia

[killer2001]

Was intently observing my tank this evening when I spotted some tentacles on my radioactive dragoneyes. I added this coral about a week ago so hopefully no spread has occurred.

Once I spotted it, I began talking in a soothing and calming voice to the aiptasia "please don't get stressed and disperse babies in my tank". So I took out the little coral frag slowly and placed into a separate container. I then told the aiptasia to turn around I got a surprise... then BAM! SMOTHERED IT IN SUPERGLUE!!! I let the glue cure in the separate container for about 10 minutes, making sure it was entirely covered.

Frag is back in the tank now. Hopefully no other aiptasia pop up, otherwise let the games begin!

I will usually shut the flow off in the tank and then hit it with some kalkwasser. Let that sit on it for a few minutes then slowly turn the flow back on. I will admit that I do get tired of going in and eradicating them little pain in the ***** which is why I have acquired Chris, a sharp shooting Copper Banded Butterfly, who has been doing a pretty good job here lately at keeping them at bay. Every once in a while he calls in "air support" which is when I come in with the kalkwasser
