clown fish and my anemones

[Nemo 2]

hmm i guess ill be ripping it out then.luckily hes right up front right now.

Are you positive that what you've got is an aiptasia?

[amcarrig]

P.S. If you "rip" the aiptasia out, chances are there will be a bit of tissue left on the rock which will eventually become a new anemone. Your best bet is to "feed" it some kalk paste or Joe's Juice.

kalk paste joe hice.never heard of them.whats that if you dont mind me asking.

[amcarrig]

Sorry. Kalk paste is just paste that you make by mixing kalkwasser (pickling lime) to r.o. water. You make a thick paste which you either form into a small ball to feed to the aiptasia or that you can put into a syringe (one with a wide opening) to feed to the anemone. Joe's Juice is a product that you can buy that supposedly kills anemones.

Tangster also has an aiptasia killing recipe that works very well if you want to send him a PM for it.

doesnt really say if it is invert safe(dont want my coral bandit to get killed).have you used it before?

[amcarrig]

I've never heard of anyone having any inverts die as a result of using either product. I have used kalk paste and Tangster's aiptasia killer before with no ill affects whatsoever. Never felt the need to try the Joe's Juice.

It's a recipe that he came up with after many years of dealing with aiptasia. I have no idea what's in it so you'll have to send him a message if you want it
