![]() I just went and did another round of injections of lime juice in my tank. I only use 5ml at a time, but that's more than enough for 10+ apasia/majono's. I'm just picking off the last few now that have come in on various live rock/frags. Seems to have worked great, i went from probably 20 majono's/5 apasia down to 0 apasia and maybe 1-2 majono's left.
I inject right into the mouth, make sure the apasia fills like a baloon and you'll never see it again. If you leak any juice out before you get the needle inside it will shrivel up and you'll probably not get a good injection after that. If i notice them baloon out, i know they will never come back.

![]() I got rid of my aptasia with both peppermint shrimp (they are safe with my corals) and lemon juice with a fine needle.
I zapped all the big ones that I could see and get at with the lemon juice, make sure the needle penetrates there mouth or stem and get them good! My aptasia is gone and the peppermints just scavange for food now ![]() |

![]() I like to use a Kalk paste (cheap when lots of Aiptasia) or Joe's Juice. I find both work really well. Kalk is short for Kalkwasser which is a powdered calcium and alkalinity supplement, you mix just enough water with it to make a paste, and then inject it or just syringe it on top of the Aiptasia.

![]() I've used Joe's juice,Peppermint shrimp and sodium Hydroxide. IMO sometimes the peppermints are hit and miss at least the ones were that I bought locally.

![]() If you can, pull the rock out, and torch the SOB's with a lighter! I guarantee you that they will not come back! When you torch them, just wait until a)they pop or b) they turn black.
Works everytime... I've yet to have had to do it twice.
