Aiptasia X

[slough shark]

Just set up a 120 gal and the tank has been cycling for about a month. Found out that these little brown nem's kicking around were really Aiptasia.
I read that Aiptasia x by RedSea was one of the best ways to rid my tank of this problem, any one know where to find this stuff in Calgary? Or any other suggestions.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Big als has it. I use it and it works great but you have to do repeat applications. Zap it and keep an eye on that area for next few days if you see any sign of it returning zap it again.

i'd try more natural ways first before you go to commercial products

for example, put boiling water or lemon juice into a syringe and then inject the aptasia with the hot water/lemon juice

great, thanks.
Is it expensive?

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.
