Removing Aiptasia with bare hands?

[kdpuffer]

From my understanding with aptasia, any little peice left behind will result in lots of replacements. I had what I suspected of being aptasia and upon closer examination there was also a large bristle worm about three inches long in the same small fragment of rock. So, to make life easy I just got rid of the rock, but from the posts iI have read, peppermint shrimp are the most readily available form of anti-aptasia there are. Not all will eat it though, so see if someone will lend you a specimen to treat the aptasia.

Google Joe's Juice, it works like a charm every time. Pretty much kills on contact.

This, hot water, lemon juice and various other products will work very well for you.

hot water and lemon juice didn't do anything for me, but joes juice worked like a charm. as for pulling them with you're hands there much to slippery and like marie said, if you shred them the little pieces turn into new aiptasia

I don't find that Joes Juice actually kills them, it definately seems to "knock" them back for a week or two but they always seem to slowly reappear.
Personally, I think getting something to consume them is a better sollution, just gotta find that right something

J&L had some a while back, not sure if they still do.
One of the biggest problems with the nudis is that once they have eaten all the aptaisia, they will starve to death if they aren't moved to a location with more aptasia. Apparently, they are quite delicate when it comes to moving and aclimatizing ( so I've read)
