Aiptasia Killin'....

[Der_Iron_Chef]

I generally don't take joy in the killing of anything. But I knew I'd enjoy this, and had to record it :D

P.S. First aiptasia I've ever had in my tank. Grrr. Nuked two of them tonight...I hope it worked.

I have to admit I have no idea what an Aiptasia is, but I DID get a good laugh out of "roomate dancing to Whitney Houston".

Hope it works for you.

The only way I can get them so they don't come back is turn of the pumps, then feed a little kalk paste mixed with mysis juice.

lol... sure looked like you had fun stabbing the things.

although maybe next time you ought to let Mittens attack them? I giggled at that video.

Nice film!

Good luck with them not coming back. I remember killing off 3-4 one day and a week later there was 30-40 :twised: Good old CBB takes care of them now :mrgreen:

So, aiptsia is bad, right?

[Der_Iron_Chef]

In most applications, yes. Some people use them in sumps as part of a benthic zone, for filtration....yada yada yada.

But generally speaking, yes--bad. :)

They can be, they can spread and give a nasty sting to other corals or fish that get too close, but they are also a beneficial filter feeder.
