I used lemon juice but the trick is to have a sharp needle and pierce the aiptasia. Injecting the lemon juice into the body nukes it immediately. I have done it this way for the occasional majano or aiptasia that showed up on a frag and have never had a problem with them spreading.

Default aptasia

sorry-i,m using a wavemaker and a wave box in my aquarium-the joes juice tends to not stay put as it is thinner than mixing the kalkwasser paste myself,and that even gets dissipated by the current,or i'm left with a blob of thick kaulkwasser on my rock for a week.one of the reasons i started breeding berghia

I have some aiptasia in one of my tanks. I have used Aiptasia-X, it works temporarily but then the aiptasia just grows back. I don't have time to do repeat injections every week so I was thinking of trying peppermint shrimp.

I have two cleaner shrimp in the tank right now, also some zoanthids. I am not sure if the cleaner shrimp will try to eat the peppermint shrimp. And I am pretty sure the peppermint shrimp will eat the zoanthids.

Maybe I will try the injecting lemon juice with a sharp needle into the body of the aiptasia thing first.
