Apatisia

[MikeP]

Peppermints took care of mine but I had to buy two. There was no change until the second one showed up. I have heard that there is a type of peppermint that doesnt eat it and another type that does. I have also heard that they are more effective when there is 2 or 3. Not sure if my aptasia was eaten because the second one I bought had a taste for it or if they both started to eat it because they were together.

I vote for the lemon juice method. I've done the peppermint shrimp, and the copperband butterfly route (both duds in my case), and had great sucess with injecting lemon juice using a syringe. It was cheap, simple, and they never came back.

Will lemon juice hurt any corals or fish that are around? Wouldnt it contaminate the water at all?

I've never had a problem with it. I'm always careful to use as little as possible though. I use so little, that I doubt it impacts anything.

I have had success with hot vinegar too - doesn't hurt anything else.
