    Another Aiptasia (glass anemone) solution has hit the market... Aiptasia-X from Red Sea is said to be sensed as food by Aiptasia so they will not retract. Red Sea also says Aiptasia-X will cause aiptasia and its larvae to implode within minutes!

    Wow!!! :eek:

    Looks like a great product if works as advertised.

    Think I need to buy some stock in Red Sea...:p

    Other aptasia remedies always seemed to be so hit and miss to me. Joe's Juice, the most common, appeared sloppy and very expensive to someone with a large infestation.

    Have never had an aptasia problem, but do periodically have to do in small BTA's that like to spread around tank.

    Ummm, wonder if works equally as well for majano?


    Thanks for tip.

    This product is featured on Marine Depot's latest mail out, right on the front page. Also, check out www.redseafish.com to see a really cool video of the product working. In the UK (where I am), retailers and hobbyists have gone nuts for it and it is getting some great reviews. It really does do everything it claims. The UK magazines have also given it rave reviews (Marine World & Ultramarine)

    I've got to get it. I tried kalk and then lemon juice. I think all that did was feed them because now they are bigger. It would take 20+ starving peppermints to get these now.
