Aipetasia has reached plague conditions

Just a shot in the dark but i have read lemon juice and a syringe and you inject it into the base works miracles as long as you do your tank section by section giving your tank a few days between attacks on those annoying little bastards so your ph dont get all frigged up

Peppermint shrimp all the way, as long as you have no triggers or other shrimp eating fish. For all the people that say that they had no luck with peppermint shrimp it is because they feed too much. Put the peppermints in and cut back on feeding and sit back and watch the magic.

i've heard that if you happen to get peppermint shrimp that come from the indo area they dont eat the aiptasia but the peppermint's from florida do eat them. I dont know if this is true but jus sayin

I think a lot of people confuse camel shrimp with peppermint shrimp as they look very similar. They are really good for very small aiptasia and continued control after all visible ones have been eradicated. I had a tank years ago that had lots of these pests and kalk paste and 2 peppermint shrimp did the trick. I still have the shrimp after 5-6 years and have never seen another aiptasia since.

The article in the Coral magazine says all peppermints eat aiptasia as long as they are not overfed. It also states that they eat the entire aiptasia unlike most fish, therefore the aiptasia cannot regrow later. Best control available hands down. 1 year after my shrimp died I still had no aiptasia.
