    try to feed it small amount of lemon juice I hear that sometimes kills it. good luck just don't buy a peperment shrimp. I tried that and didn't work so far.

    So many things you can use; RedSea's Aiptasia-X, Kalk paste, lemon juice, Jeo's juice and some Peppermint shrimps. Luna

    I used to use purple up to kill them (direct with syringe) and it worked okay but I now use kalk paste and it works SOOO much better! Good luck and make sure to keep them under control, kill them when you see them or they can get out of control!

    joe's juice has not let me down yet works good only thing is you have to stop your powerheads for a while so the stuff doesnt get all over the place and especially on things you wanna keep but works great if you can master target shooting lmao

    I use two methods. I have peppermint shrimp in my tank. Those aiptasia that are left over I nail with homemade Joe's juice. Just mix Kalkwasser with RO water. You don't need to make it thick, because you are going to use a needle to inject it into it's evil little mouth. So just draw up some in a 1ml syringe armed with a 25 guage 1 inch needle and inject a little. Watch it shrivel up. That's it.
