First Aiptasia
 
I have an aiptasia anenome poking out of a small frag of zoos. What should I do? Joe's Juice?

DOO-E 07-07-2004 12:37 AM

joe's juice inject it with boiling water, or but a heniochus, even a CBB, or peppermint shrimp

Captain are you sure it's aiptasia?

Cap'n 07-07-2004 05:47 AM

Yep.

It appears to be killing the zoo polyps immediatly surrounding it. Worried about what would happen to them with treatment.

EmilyB 07-07-2004 07:19 AM

Zoo's aren't harmed by treatment. Just feed the aiptasia directly. :biggrin:

What Deb said, plus you might have better results with ALL pumps off (at least I did)... easier to get a direct hit, and you lose less.

I hear a super concentrated blast of kalkwasser works as well just inject the aptasia and plewy its gone

As a bit of a zookeeper, I would frag the zoos. Even a few polyps will grow into a colony in a few months. I would then discard the rock. :eek:

The zoo colony is only a frag to begin with so it may be difficult to seperate the polyps.

What type of treatment have people had experience with that has worked?
