Default Your aiptasia experience/s?
I found some aiptasia in my tank a while ago, panicked and removed the rocks, then found some more tonight. Sounds common place, yet it doesn't, at the same time. So figured I'd post a poll...

For those who've gotten rid of 'em, or had them under good control, what are/were your method/s?

I'm looking for peppermint shrimp tomorrow, and finding out where to buy NaOH.

I have 4 of them right now. They've stayed in the same spots for almost a month now and no new ones have intruded. I'm scared of jinxing it so I've left them for now.


Hoo-ah, soldier!

i don't think mine are safe to leave alone. I've found 4 tonight that weren't there this morning. And plus there were the ones on the rock I removed about 2 weeks ago. I'll begin my war this week
