Pest anenomes

What is the best way to get some "pest anenomes" off my LR?
They are taking over tank & I think they are killing off some fish/shrimp...

Aptasia?

Peppermint Shrimp apparently...
Or injecting every single indiviual with Kalk...

Describe the pest you are talking about in detail? A photo would be great...

2 types, the Aiptasia spp. and the Anemonea cf. majano, both are pests, the first is much easier to control than the second, although the second is not quite as virulent a the first.

Pix please!

Ditto to what Tom said,
I use hot kalk in a syringe, although i'm hearing good things about "Joe's Juice" also.
A Copperband Butterfly works a lot of time also,mine got a lot of aips eaten up..

I've had good luck with 0.1 cc of white vinegar per mojano. They usually die within 24 hours of injection (insulin needles work great) and can be netted out in one piece.
