Aiptasia control methods - Poll

I used aiptasia x it worked and rid my system completely
However you need to be persistent everyday if one pops up during the weeks following the first time you use it on all of the aiptasia in your tank. After about 1 to 2 months I no longer saw any more spawn up in random places. So you really have to tackle it for a while before you ate completely free of aiptasia

Interesting that Aiptasia X worked for you. Did you have to sometimes treat the same aiptasia more than once before it was gone?

I only tried Aiptasia X once on about 4 different aiptasia. At first I thought I was successful, as I did not see them for a couple days. But then they came back, in the exact same spot. So, I just came to the conclusion that it doesn't work, and didn't try a 2nd treatment. Maybe I was too hasty with that?...

I tried 4 times with Aiptasia X with the same aiptasia and still doesn't work.

A did apply it once to each aiptasia just above it so it would drip in then it would close and swollel it had a couple of Mojano too. Aiptasia would pop up in other spots. I did apply quite a bit each and turned off wave maker too. I just kept up with them every day spot ones here and there. It seems that if you just let them be more sprout up so you have to be persistent. Eventually no more new sprouts.

I woke up in my tent last night on our family camping trip because I'd had a nightmare my aiptasia all came back. This thread must have been on my mind!

I tried peppermint shrimp and they MAY have worked but my 2 wrasses had it as a snack within 5 minutes of it being in there. They had a more expensive entre than me that night.
