    yes, but I'm talking specifically about the attachments these come with:

    BTW, I'm all for saving money, but these syringe applicators work great, much better to control the output and reach "tucked away" aiptasia than a syringe alone. They were worth the $17 I paid for the kit, though I haven't even used the bottle of aiptasia x, just kalk paste, lol!

    Im sure you could of found a lot cheaper ones at CVS or Walgreens. Just anything to get the stuff on the anemone is all that matters! :p

    Why would cvs carry syringes with such big tips? they would be worthless for medical needs. Also you can't buy a needle without a prescription. Science supply house would be a more likely choice for these kinds of tips, but its not going to be too cheap.

    pretty much my thoughts too... if you've used one of these syringes, you'd understand why they are so awesome!

    I've searched online, but cannot find anything comparable... I'm sure there is a name for the kind of tip these have, but I can't come up with it.

    Well, if you have a aiptasia infested tank i am sure you have atleast bought one of these little package deals. If you havent, then just go buy one and keep the syringe. I have about 5 of them! :p

    looks almost like a turkey injector... I'm sure you could manage to bend one to get it to have an angle without crushing the tube as well...

    Or you can always buy an apstasia eating filefish or the aipstasia eating nudibranches..
    The fish is cheap. 25 or so bucks
    The nudis are expensive but they are supposed to do the job.
