How to get rid of tiny Aiptasia on frags
 
I picked up a frag today that has some tiny aiptasias on it. How can I destroy them without hurting the mushroom/paly's ??

Also no peppermints or nudis. The 'nems shall be gone before the frags go into the tank.

Are the nems on the rock or the polyps?

In the past, I've cut off polyps with nems on them. If on the rock, and the rock isn't too porous, I've superglued them in their little holes. I then superglue the holes in close proximity to them closed, too.

On the rock.

Also no can do on sealing them in. I don't have anything to seal with with :sad:
