I would avoid this advice.

Aptasia go into preservation mode when irritated and release "spores" into the water. This can actually make the issue worse.

Best to treat them properly or risk causing an even bigger out break.

I think if you do not have time/confidence to treat them, removal is the smart choice.

However, if you have aptasia on one coral, there are more hiding somewhere. Good luck.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
