Default Aptasia

Wow, i'm amazed how fast aptasia multiplies!

Got 200#'s live rock, noticed a couple aptasia hitch hikers, 2 days later I can see about 12....

I have not had any on my rock since getting three peppermint shrimp. I did find a monster sized one in the overflow a few weeks ago where they couldn't get to it. He didn't seem to like the taste of Kalk though

you can take a syringe and fill it with hot water or vinegar works well. Inject it into the aptasia and they wither away.

You have to be fast because they retract as soon as you get close.

Oh and they don't multiply as fast as you think.
