hotdrop Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Blowtorch or glue over it. There area a bunch of products that will spread them so be careful. 1 Quote Link to comment
Matteo Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Last night I had a single apstaisa on a frag I noticed. I took it out, brushed the ap off with a toothbrush while rinsing. I also then took 70% isopropyl and soaked the spot and surrounding area where the nem use to be. I highly doubt I will see it or any others rise again. As long as they are in a concentrated spot and you can take the piece out of the tank before you do anything you should be fine. 1 Quote Link to comment

Outofstock Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I always used a syringe and a lemon juice/vodka mixture. Why vodka I dont know... but worked great for nuking anything I didnt like, used it to control fast growing zoas too. Zoas Quote Link to comment

They will retreat into the rock or leave enough tissue to regenerate. You really have to kill them and glue them over. Don't ask me how I found this out years ago .... 1 Quote Link to comment
C2 da fish Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 I noticed I have a lot of little ones around the tank going to try the Red Sea formula for the removal Quote Link to comment
