Talking Final Riddance of Aptasia

This might seem extreme, but if you find one or two of these little buggers, here is a cure. No Shrimp, no Juice, chemicals or otherwise.
I went do Canadian Tire and bought a mini tiger torch. (The ones that have a small blue flame about 1-2" in length. I took the rock with the offending coral and torched the crap out of the one small cavern that it was in. Not a sign of it is left. And as far as regrowth is concerned, nothing grows from carbon >
Now, before someone says nay about this. I can tell you I have 2 of these one a rock COVERED in zoo's. I lost no zoos. Because the flame from this torch is very precise, it just cooked the aptasia. REALLY RECOMMENDED.

That might work if you can remove the rock from your reef..

Talking

Were you an American soldier with his napalm flamethrower in a previous life?

I've thought of doing the same but never bothered. Glad someone tried it & posted their positive results.
