FrenchieNano Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I've identified two tiny Aiptasias hitchhiking on the skeleton of my new Candy Cane. I've read the methods of getting rid of it including: Peppermint shrimp Chemical stuff Whilst it says DO NOT scrape it off, I just wanted to ask if I take the frag out of the tank and scrape it off an rinse under saltwater (freshwater will kill the coral?) could that wash it off?

HVani Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I would instead burn them off then cover the area with super glue Link to comment
C.I._Reefer Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 +1 in my tank if they are small and removable they get blasted with a small torch for a few seconds, and if they are large they get a lemon juice injection Link to comment
acabgd Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I have a similar problem, but as soon as I take out the zoas out of the water, I cant even see aiptasia, it is floating and is clearly visible while in water, but when outside I can't even see it. Is there any way to kill it while under water? Link to comment

Is there any way to kill it while under water? Needle and syringe and lemon juice, or you get the Apitasia X and cover his little head in it. It will melt him away! Link to comment
