Aiptasia- Mojano Question

theplatypus · 07-26-2005, 08:09 PM

I've got one of these beasts growing at the edge of my purple/green Lobophylia. Is a Kalkvasser paste ok to use in this situation or should I pick up some Joe's Juice?

Either or will do the job but get it quick. You will probably see more soon. They will multiply quickly.

I had aptasia all over a large rock but once the cycle was done, I put in 2 peppermint shrimp and it was all gone in a week.

Lysmata rathbunae or wurdemanni (aka peppermint shrimp) will not eat Anemonia cf. majano but have always taken care of Aiptasia for me. As for killing A. majano I prefer muriatic acid in a hypodermic syringe. I've heard a lot of good things about Joe's Juice so that may be worth a try.

I use that joes juice. Be forwarned, trying to pull the anemone from the rock is a really good way to spread em. Ask Lisa.

I've used injected boiling water and this kills 'em too.

concentrated lemon juice worked for me

Anyone with a spare syringe?
