What option is best for ridding aiptasia from tank?

[pelle31]

I've used Joe's juice,Peppermint shrimp and sodium Hydroxide. IMO sometimes the peppermints are hit and miss at least the ones were that I bought locally.

If you can, pull the rock out, and torch the SOB's with a lighter! I guarantee you that they will not come back! When you torch them, just wait until a)they pop or b) they turn black.

Works everytime... I've yet to have had to do it twice.

I've also used a product called "Aptasia X" from redsea and have had great success with it.

For a small tank, one peppermint shrimp
Acclimate her very slowly

Just like doch said ........ You have such a small tank and amount of rock that you shouldn't even bother with any thing else. I had some on three pieces of rock and all I did was make a note of where they were and use a BBQ lighter to torch them. I am now and have been aiptasia free ever since. I have tried the all other methods and this is the best.

K, so I tried this, hope it works and I didn't torch something cool

I don't know how to get rid of mine. Got peppermint shrimps and it did nothing, got a copperband butterfly and he does not eat them, tried Aiptasia X and it does not kill them and they just return after a week. My next option if I can find them will be berghia nudibranchs.

The most anoying are those that are popping in the middle of my zoanthids colonies and stopping the zoanthids from opening.
