![]() -found a little 1/2'' aiptasia on the back of my tonga deepwater rock, and
it's a cycling tank so no corals for it 2 sting or anything but it's still ****ing me off cuz i know it'll cause problems when it gets bigger(in very short time) so any suggestions cuz i already tried blasting it with near boiling water and he hid for maybe 2-3 minutes and popped bak up so that obviously didn't work so any other suggestions? i heard that lemon juice works but i don't wanna wreck my tank now, so any specific type or brand that anyone else uses/used?

![]() Try Joe's Juice, it will kill it no problem. I had 50+ in my 10g tank and bought a peppermint shrimp, and he ate them all in one night.. Best money ive ever spent.

![]() I think if using the boiling water or lemon juice , you need to use a syringe and actually inject the liguid. Have also heard that the lemon juice won't hurt your tank.
Joey's Juice just needs to be " fed" to the little buggers, have had mixed results with this stuff. Peppermint shrimp really seem to be hit and miss.

![]() I have had good luck with Joe's Juice. It has killed all the little aptasia (non seem to have come back) and has not harmed anything else in the tank. I'm not sure how it would do on a large one. You could always physically remove the large one, and zap any small ones with Joe's Juice that might show up later.
