Aiptasia in zoa colony! help!!

i have a colony of zoas that sprouted a Aiptasia. it right in the middle of the colony.. what should i do? ill get a pic here in a minute!



Hard to see but right in the middle where the zoas are closed up kinda

 

Remove frag or piece from tank, pat dry with paper towel, mix up kalk paste (thick), apply small dab (with Q-tip) to aiptasia, let sit for 5 min, rinse in SW and return to display.

ok i dont have any on hand right now! where can i get some? can i use Aiptasia x?

 

Basically it's the same thing.

You can usually buy Kalkwasser at any story that sells SW good.

 

ok thanks so much ill get some when im in town tomorrow! how do i mix it?

 

Just keep adding a couple drops of water to the dry powder (avoid inhaling the dust at all cost)you only need like a teaspoon of powder, until you get something a kin to chocolate chip dough consistently.

 

ok cool thanks!

 

I always keep Peppermint shrimp in my tank and think they do a pretty good job keeping them under control. But, whenever I see any Aiptasias in my aquariums, I inject Tropic Marin 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.

 

You can also put it in a dip of fresh water. The zoas are ok with fresh water but anenomes hate it

 

That will do nothing.
