Smariob223 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Just got a pice of tonga branch for a new 38 gallon reef, but I was wondering if any Of this might be aiptasia? Link to comment

TeflonTomDosh Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 doesn't look like tonga branch to me either. Link to comment
Smariob223 Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 I'm pretty sure it's tonga, just found a lot more aiptasia tho. What would be the best way to take cair of this? I just put this rock in a cycling tank yesterday should I take it out and treat it With something, before it spreads to all the other rock. I was going to try injecting lemon but now that I found all these little ones there so small I don't see being able to get them all with a needle. Link to comment
Blubbernaut Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Take the rock out, burn the aiptasia, and put the rock back in. Link to comment
rev138 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Peppermint shrimp will eat them. Just make sure you get a real peppermint, sometimes camel shrimp get sold as peppermints, but they won't do the job. Link to comment

I know some peppermints do kill it, but not all will. Just my personal experience. Link to comment
rev138 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Out of 7 or 8 I've purchased, all but one ate aiptasia. In that one case, I solved it by just getting another one Link to comment
