Ive had very good success useing Kalk paste to kill them.Just mix the kalk into a paste and use something small like an eye droper ( I use the droper from an old test kit )to squirt the paste into the hole where it lives.If you can,remove the rock and do it in a seperate container,so you dont mess with your PH.Having said that Ive never had a bad aiptasia problem,only 1 or 2 on new rock or coral.

I've had good sucess with Joes Juice. No point in getting fish or shrimp that you don't really want or need otherwise.

Default Aiptasia

Ok, I bought some Joe's Juice today, and fed it to all the Aiptasia I could see in my tank, I will see if they come back and let everyone know if it works. Crossing my fingers, if not it will be Lemon Juice as suggested by Cam.

I have used Joe's Juice with only limited success. You may have to use several applications. I had peppermint shrimp that ate even a large apistasia. However, the peppermint shrimp don't kill them, so they appear again once the shrimp are gone.

I used Joe's Juice too...when I first nuked all the aiptasia I thought my troubles were over...but they came back with a vengeance a few weeks later...I have treated the same area many times and they just keep coming back...Good luck! Now I don't have any but not from treating with JJ
