Wowsers?! Hitchiker.

I use kalkwasser paste injected into them to nuke aiptasia.

 

soo just put vinegar in a syringe and squirt it on it? I scraped it off last night, but it's back this morning.

 

try getting a natural solution. maybe a peppermint shrimp or if really desperate a berghia nudibranch although they only eat aiptasia so i would't recomend it.

 

I don't want to add any bioload to my tank at this point, and I can't justify getting a new shrimp to eat this. It's 2mmx3mm, and it's the only one in my tank.

 

I had a lot of aiptaisia at one point and just killed it with a mixture of hot water and vinigear. That's my suggestion. You want to get rid of this stuff asap. Just like others said, it spreads like crazy!!

 

Does Aiptasia's natural range include Florida?

 

+1 on aptaisia

 

As usual, there are a lot of different species that could be identified as Aiptasia by reefers so distribution doesn't mean much here. It could also be a newly settled juvenile of some colorful species but it's best not to take chances with these small ones.

 

I have ones that are very similar on my rock, which is aquacultured in the gulf. They keep popping up from time to time in new spots despite being hit with Joe's Juice, so I would call them an invasive, hard-to-kill species, regardless as to whether they're true aiptasia or not.

 

When in dought kill it
