Manajo and aiptasias

aiptasia-X worked very well for me for a while. Now they're starting to come back. It may be worth a try... turn all your flow pumps off when you apply aiptasia-x.

Good luck... that's a lot of them! I agree with what was said earlier... if you kill so many of them in your tank, you risk a big ammonia spike. Run lots of carbon if you do.

 

My suggestion comes from my point of view as to what i would do if it was me.He is asking for advise,there is no way he can kill all of them without spiking the water,and what about the ones he can't see or get to.he would have to battle them for the life of the tank.But just a suggestion.

 

thanks for the help i think i will nuke them because they are on all the rock so that seems like it will be the best answer

 

What kind of corals do you have in those rocks? Definitely try to save them by either chiseling the a piece of rock if the base is not widely spread, or fraging them. I'm sorry you have to do this, but I agree with what was said earlier... they're definitely out of control. They look like Majano anemone. Aiptasia's have way thinner tentacles... at least the ones I had.

 

kalkwasser paste. will kill them.

 

Yes but I guess what people are getting at iss they are so many of them then by injecting them they would lead to toxins being released after death Which is true and is they suggest nuking.

You basically have 3 options.
1.nuking all the rocks
2.Lethal Injection
3.Make them a food source.

Now we know option 2 is out. I know nudbranches eat aiptaisa but im unsure of Majenos however I would atleast explore and make sure that there is or isnt somthing out there that can handle the problem for you before I conclude to option 1. all im saying

 

looking at his profile pic, his tank is pretty sizeable. I wouldn't worry about the toxins from a single rock of anems. you could even do it in two pieces.

 

Aiptaisa is a real bummer. I nuke mine with boiled water and vinigar.... since they don't have those products over here in spain. Worked quite well but they keep coming back, so nuking the rock is a good idea.
Best of luck to you!

 

I would try another peppermint. I think you got a dud. I had a pretty bad outbreak of aiptasia in my fuge a few months ago. Two peppermint shrimp mowed through every single one in less than a couple weeks. Haven't seen one aiptasia ever since.

 

Yeah but guys he doesnt have aiptaisa he has majenos. Totally diffrent ball game and I dont know if peppermints eat them.

I dont think its a single rock. I believe he said they are probably all over his tank and im willing to bet so too given the amount that are just on the one rock in the picture.
