    I think my plan of attack is to first try it the natural way (copperband, pep shrimp), if that doesn't work the zapper is next...by then if i still have any left my last resort will be joe's juice, i'm a little reluctant to go chemical again after the bad experience with Aiptasia X although i would consider trying joes juice once more..the only reason i went with Aip X was because my lfs stopped carrying JJ. what a mistake...

    The Zapper seems like a very cool invention. I don't have one, but for years whenever I see any Aiptasias in my tanks, I inject TM Elimi-Aiptas directly into the stalk as opposed to into the mouth. I find that the product has a better kill rate when injected into the stalk rather than the mouth and it has worked well for me.

    Different species. They probably don't even find each other attractive.
