Enthrol Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Today I noticed what looks like aiptasia. There are 3 small stalks that I've found. All 3 look similar. I only got good pictures of 2 as the 3rd is buried in some gha Can someone please let me know if I'm right in my identification? 1 Quote Link to comment

Enthrol Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 I just read that, but I'm also worried it'll just spread. Think this might work for a couple but one of them is entrenched in a hole it can disappear into. I'm reading good things about berghai nudibranchs, though it seems to take a while for them to get to work. Then there's the nutrient spike after their job is done, if I can't find them all to remove them. Kind of want to stay away from chemical treatments as this is my first tank and I'm just starting to get a grasp on the water chemistry. So I'm concerned I wouldnt notice ill effects of the chemicals. 1 Quote Link to comment
NoOneLikesADryTang Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Some people swear by boiling water injected in to them. Others say a lemon juice mixture works. I’ve been pretty fortunate *knocks on wood* and haven’t ever had a major outbreak of them. When I do see them, I’ve just used apstasia-x on them. If you can get it in to their oral disc, it works great. Sometimes on harder to reach ones though, it takes few tries. 1 Quote Link to comment
mcarroll Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 You need this: Just watch a vid from them on how to do it and you'll be fine. Don't wait. Quote Link to comment
Enthrol Posted March 9, 2020 Author Share Posted March 9, 2020 I picked up a bottle of F-Aiptasia from my lfs, who happens to make it, after reading some reviews around the internet. Applied it tonight. We'll see if it does the trick. 1 Quote Link to comment
