safe ways of getting rid of aptasia

[Sherri]

I got 2 peppermints and I no longer have any aiptasia at all. I have plenty of zoos and have not seen any evidence that the peppermints are bothering them. Am I just lucky so far?? What good are peppermints if you have no more aiptasia?

If you go the peppermint route...Alex is putting together an order with Reeftopia...I believe they are $6.

I just ordered some of the Joe's Juice and I will try it out and let everyone know how it works.

Well put me inline on what works I am in drastic need of getting rid of these critters. I have tried a Copper band did not work. I have some pepperment shrimp no workie either and a nudi no luck there as well. So anything that will fix this would be fantastico

Joe's Juice is in stock now at AA. $9 per bottle.

I tried it on 3 Aiptasia and 2 Majano last night and this morning there was no trace of them. It does sound too good to be true, but so far, it appears to work as advertised.

The question is, when you kill them with this stuff, do they just pop up elsewhere? I've killed dozens of these things; they just reproduce too fast to completely eradicate.

how do you apply the joe's juice? so many drops per gal?

Dan,

The instructions say:

For Aiptasia: gently place syringe over mouth, use syringe to place small amount of mixture on mouth.

For Majana: spread a small amount of mixture on the center.

I used approx. 2 ml total on the 3 Aiptasia and 2 Majana I 'treated'.

Very easy to use and very quick results.

HTH.
