does it kill other things as well? I have some and they are hard to get to with the syringe. Just always worried that these products take out good things as well.

I recommend the Tailored Aquatics Aiptasia Destroyer it kills Mojano also. I have used both but found I needed multiple applications with the Red Sea.
Both work TA's just work better and faster for me.

How safe is it on zoas or inverts?

Aiptasia X works OK. Only problem I had was getting chunks of the stuff in the bottle and having it clog up the syringe.

I would not buy it again though. I think lemon juice or hot vinegar works just as good and is a hell of a lot cheaper.

So you still have to use the syringe?

You need the syringe for lemon juice or vinegar to squirt a couple of ml's into the anemone.

I agree the TA is good stuff. So is Joes juice. As for it being Zoa/pally safe, I have these ugly white pallys that i injected with both the TA and JJ and it never killed them soooooo ya they are still there lol i would go ahead and say your safe.

I had one Aptasia for the longest time, finely got around to nuking it with a syringe and lemon juice. Now I have LOTS of little ones popping up everywhere.

I belive you have to syphon the "stump" out or it will spread into many more. I think most products say this on the bottle except the TA says no syphon required (but i do anyway). I guess lemon juice would not say this though

All i can give is my experience. I have tried Joes juices The TA stuff and Redsea and the only thing that worked for me was the Redsea stuff. I admit you have to do multiple applications but it did work for me. I have also tried Nudis Peppermint shrimp and a Copper band none of them worked for me.
