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 away

You got yourself some healthy Aiptasia. You want to remove itor kill it before it starts reproducing. It will take over your tank. I’m not the expert on eradication, but hen I see one, I cover it with reef safe glue. Same glue gel I use to attach frags. Seems to work good for me, but I would try to get more expert guidance.

Careful. Don’t know if Gorilla glue is reef safe. I would be Leary of using that.

I've been told if it's the gel kind with cyanoacrylate as the ingredient, it's supposed to be reef safe.

I love this method or aiptasia x. Load. Aim. Shoot. Last meal that sucker ever gets. Then watch for a few days around that area to make sure there aren’t any others.
