Aiptasia found on live rock
I found a small polyp on my LR and since day one I thought it was nice and something came out so fast during the cycling process. Up until 2 days ago I was surfing the net and found the exact pics of what I got and it's an Aiptasia. Yesterday I went to my LFS and asked for Joe's Juice and the guy there said that J's J is not as good as Aiptasia X from Red Sea and so I bought it at $19.99 plus tax.
So my plan today is to take the infected live rock out and put it in pale and use Aiptasia X to eliminate it. Now I am not sure if that aiptasia has released any seedlings all over my tank, this I hope not.  Does anyone have any suggestions, whether I should quarantine the live rock for a while, or make it dry rock, or add something to the tiny hole where the aiptasia is? Thank you.

aptasia when it popped up in my tank got toasted, MUAHAHAHAHA no seriously though i either took a mini butane torch to it if i could get the rock out or boiling water and a syringe if i couldn't but i wasnt gentle and have only seen one since the first couple monthes i've had my tank when i went on my evil rampage
 oh and now he's also toast... literally, although if you wanna be on the safe side i'd suggest quarentine over drying or boiling just to keep from having to reseed the rock which can take over a month

Hehe, that's what I did. After using Aiptasia X inside the pail, I chiseled out the part where the aiptasia's root was then rinsed half side of rock with hot water. I put that rock back in the tank and changed 25% of water. Let's hope I won't see any of them anymore.
Wish I could buy Berghia nudibranch, but can't find them in my area.
