(Glass) Anenome Issue

Hey Everyone, I hope all is well with each of you.

I purchased a coral that had this "cute" anenome attached to it and it has multiplied and taken over the tank. Is there any way to either control their growth or get rid of them without breaking down the entire tank and starting over?

I have a 180 gallon tank with sump under, protein skimmer, metal halide lighting and light fish load.

Any ideas?

 

Aiptasia!!!!! Check out the posts for aiptasia. All you need to know is there. I posted one yesterday. Kill them!!!

 

HOLY COW!!! Is that a Aiptasia farm? They say lemon juice will do the trick, I havent use it yet.

 

Aiptasia farm it is! Too bad I can't sell the little !@#$%^&. So lemon juice and peppermint shrimp should be my task for the day? Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it!

 

Just get an Australian copper band butterfly poof problem is gone for ever. In a reef setting it has to be an Australian only!

 

To 3Reef!!! ​
