Default How fast does aiptasia grow?

Doesn't matter who/what the tankmates are!)

I think if you can't see the aiptasia on the shell anymore then you probably got it. The problem with aiptasia is in things like rocks or things with deep cavities/crevasses ... those are the ones you won't be able get all of them since they bury themselves so deeply. But on something like a clam shell or something like that without the deep crevasses/cavities you should be able to get all of it....

Good luck!
