new way to control aiptasia anemone?

[Clownnut]

i got a big aiptasia anemone in my tank.2 days ago i moved a florida ric next to the aiptasia. i want to know which get a powerful sting? i spend quit sometime watchin them that day. as ususl the MH on the ric expend and touch the aiptasia. the aiptasia immediately shrinked. i have never seen that aiptasia since then. i remove the ric today. still nothing. that just got me thinkin can the ric killed that aiptasia?

I agree with Jerry, but keep your eyes peeled.

I have been scouring the web and picking peoples' brains for a good way to get rid of aiptasia and I just found something new today that no one else has touched on ...

Intead of trying to inject or poison the darn thing, I read that you can just take a small hunk of that aquarium 2 part epoxy and stuff it over the aiptasia and its crevis (99% of the time I have found they are in some sort of crevis or hole). Algae and coraline will grow over the small hunk of epoxy, or use the spot to mount another coral.

So far this method has made the most sense to me. Everything else seems hit or miss.

Ive done it, that works fine. Pepps are for s**t they are slow but eventually they get to them when they are ready.
