Muges Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Are any of these cause for concern? I'm new to marine and my tank is still in its cycling process. These came in on the liverock. Link to comment
gonebad395 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Pics are really hard to see but with what we are working with first pic looks like a small feather duster if that is what it is it's fine. Second pic looks like a aptasia if that's what it is it's bad I would get a syringe of lemon juice and hit it at the base. But with the photos here I have ya to things to Google look them up and good luck. Link to comment
Muges Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 Thanks for the reply. Yes after googling its definitely an aptasia. Is there another method of removing as i dont currently have a syringe. Link to comment
John L Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Aptaisia X, pick some up from your lfs, or online? Has a little syringe applicator Worked well for me, I think you have to knock it on th head asap as they will spread eventually. Link to comment
Muges Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 attacked it with a syringe. Didnt have a needle. it was on a small piece of liverock so i removed it from the tank and squirted around 3ml of lemon juice. It soaked right in . It has not come back out yet. Hopefully thats the end of it. Link to comment
dandelion Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Go to your local pharmacy and buy some insulin syringes. If they question you show them this thread to tell them what you're doing. attacked it with a syringe.

Clown79 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Use aiptasia x for the aiptasia. Having a bottle on hand comes in handy because these guys can show up at anytime anywhere Link to comment
BrunoSnow Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Aptasia is a real pest make a paste wit calcium hidroxide and water and cover it whit a seringe, sometimes they are attached to a hole and is hard to stake a neadle in their base, work fine for me this metod. Link to comment
tetraodon Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 the only effective treatment ive found for aptasia is super glue, Link to comment
