    Lemon Juice, Aiptasia X, boiling water, kalk paste are all effective ways of killing those guys.

    ive had one experience and used boiling water..it works great..i almost used the kalk paste but was hesitant it might make my water spike somewhere..the boiling water in a turkey baster worked great, just make sure no inhabitants are around..

    it looks deprived of light....you could just keep depriving it of light, but imo lemon juice is the best. just make sure filter and powerheads are off so it goes right where you want it. good luck

    btw my emerald crab and cleaner shrimp love the lemon juice ;D
