![]() IMO, even critters or fish are not a sure fire thing.
Best bet is to go to the local drug store and buy some syringes, then get some kalk powder. you mix up some RO water with powder, put in syringe and inject each. Usually will kill them in one shot. I use this method with aptaisa, mushrooms and things I can't easily get out. Good Luck!

![]() well that all depend on the value of your zoanthids. not a fish to have if you have 50$ per polyp purple hornet like I do and some other rare zoa. Plus they grow so slowly.

![]() I found Copperbands to be good at eating pest anemones. Once it wipes out your aiptasia & majanos, though, you'll have to convert it over to frozen mysis or something similar. You can also use fresh market clams for butterflyfish food.

![]() For me I bought some syringes with needles from a pharmacy and inject the anemones with lemon juice and works 80% of the time
