Aiptasia Troubles

Mother of god i have 3 of them. What is the best way to kill them ?

Peppermint shrimp or inject them with kalk paste. Is that the right wording? We make a paste out of ARGH...can't remember the name, but it's found in the picking section at Walmart and is in a green can/bottle. Then we put it in a medicine dropper and squirt a little right in the little bugger!!!

is the name mrs wages pickling lime?

YES

Yep, pickling lime. That's the stuff. Make it into a paste with some RODI water & drop some right in the middle of those babies! WHAMMO! I hate those things. They remind me of spiders and give me the ebie jeebies.

I had some in my 29 so I got a peppermint shrimp and it ate em all.

Peppermint shrimp took care of the little ones for me. Joe's Juice (Mrs Wages is cheaper) took care of the larger ones.

I have a peppermint shrimp now so i will see what he can do

STUPID PEPPERMENT SHRIMP CANT HELP ME WHEN HE FINDS HIS WAY TO MY SUMP ALL THE TIME

lol i am glad you have the same problem, i had a bunch of them but they liked the sump alot more. So i got sick of fishing em out all the time and i have no idea what happened to them but i am sure there gone.

Well that STUPID PEPPERMENT SHRIMP did i cant find no Aiptasias in my tank that i can see

congrats glad to hear it

Pickling lime huh? I'll have to try that as well. I've been doing the boiling water in a hypo trick myself. It seems to work pretty good, I just have to stick and move pretty quick before they go back into all that expensive live rock I bought.
