 |  swimming anemone
I just picked up some mexicana calupera from my LFS and thought I shook all the bad stuff out. You can tell by the title what went swimming by later on. I have a few aptaisia now, is this very bad?  |

KILL THEM
I believe it is a syringe with lemon juice that kills them? | |

I found one in my tank and the guy at the lfs told me that peppermint shrimp will eat them. I got a couple shrimp and now it's gone. | |

If the aiptasia are in a refugium, I wouldn't worry about it. | |

Aiptasia are bad bad things. I think i picked up some stuff from a nearby reef store, I took the LR that i had the aiptasia on, and treated it. Some white stuff that kinda looked like that wart remover stuff lol.
I just brushed it on those suckers and about a day later it had burnt them all off sure enough. It wasn't harmful at all to the LR or the tank by the way either. It went away the day after as well.
But, if all else fails I would just boil the sucker. | |
