excellent luck with this as well but with a bit of a twist, boiling water only, no prime...gotta be fast or yeah, that boiling water will not be hot for long. i use a 10-20ml syringe with a piece of air line tube on the end for accuracy. after you shoot the aptasia, suck the remaining tissue back into the syringe. now go out and get a few peppermint shrimps!!
