Default baby aiptasia

just noticed 3 of them on a new piece of LR, only like a millimeter big or so.
best way of getting rid of them at this stage since cant really stab them witha needle yet. just wait till they get bigger?

If the rock is removable, take it out, turn it upside down and torch them with a bic lighter, until crispy.

Another option that worked for me is peppermint shrimp. Some eat them, some don't.

I had a peppermint shrimp for all of 10 minutes in my tank. The 2 wrasses had a feeding frenzy with it. Thanks for the $30 entree! I don't even eat that well, LOL.

make a thick kalkwasser paste and cover them in the morning-do not use berghia as they would starve in a week

I've never used kalkwasser but I'm curious how you put it under water without it disintegrating before you can make your attack? is it in a syringe? I've got 3 massive ones that need attention.

The only success I've had was keeping a copperband butterfly fish. The other method I tried, ie kalkwasser paste and such only seemed to spread the problem.

Super glue the bastards , take as tube of the gel glue and cover them compleatly , or you can use a blob of epoxy putty to smother them too. The putty works well for bigger ones .
