I have tried every product out there, and all the home solutions as well(kalk, lemon juice, etc). They would get rid of the aiptasia for a while, but it always seemed to come back. I have tried peppermint shrimp a few times but with no success. The only thing that I have found that works is putting epoxy over the aiptasia. Initially, it doesn't look great, but after about a month, it blends right in, and you don't even realize it is there. Give it a try, and you won't be banging your head against the wall when the other stuff won't work.

I think the spors go right into the rock as when I had to break a rock up a while back there was atapsia at every break point about 3 or 4 days latter. I put the rock back together you see but where there was a crack left to the open water an atapsia grew. I think the problem lies within the rock that is why they keep comming back after a month or so.

Default this worked for me!

hey i injected the little buggers directly with a shot of calcium, a high OD with calcium just kills it before it can spread its worth a try for you cause it worked for me!
