[dclegern]

The tanks is looking better thanks to some of yall's ideas.
But I still have these little nuisance/nettle stringy armed little boogers hanging off of one rock that i don't want to get rid of.

somebody has to know what they are (called). and an easy way to get rid of them.

pic would help, and are you thinking they are aiptasia, google images see if thats them

[dclegern]

aiptasia is exactly what it is........Thank you!!!!
Now other than introducing new chemicals into my tank.... any ideas on how to squelch them little boogers?

[Big_Pun]

there is the peppermint shrimp method, copperband fish, also a syirnge and lemon juice also

[JoshOdphi]

peppermint shrimp.....they will munch on them till they're gone.....of course if there is a lot of em might take a lil bit but the shrimp will take care of them....how big is the tank?...

I love the kalkwasser injection method. Very fun and also very effective. :)

[Salty]

boiling water works well if you don't want to use any chemicals, shoot it right on them and its lights out.

[dclegern]

taking the rock out of the tank to do so????
or while still in the tank, and just careful careful careful.

[txav8r]

I do it in the tank.

I just inject them in the tank with a syringe filled with Real Lemon juice. One shot and bye bye Aptasia.

A kalk slurry for me. I kind of like the idea of BOILING kalk slurry though!

That's like me torching those brown moon polyps! Nothing more satisfying than watching their innards boil!!!!

Wow, that second sentence by itself is rather disturbing! :D

Ahh over kill would be throwing the tank out the window and hitting it with a blow torch. lol
