![]() But what parasites? Porcelain crabs and sexy shrimp? Did they neglect to name anything? That sounds like really bad advice to me. Anemones can be pretty hardy and long lived in captivity once settled into a mature and stable environment (my sebae turns 9 next year). Most deaths happen early on from collection and shipping stresses (and later on from powerhead and pump intakes). All invertebrates are very sensitive to sudden changes in pH, temperature and salinity. Its best not to push their limits without a really good reason.
I too have used vinegar, lemon juice, calcium hydroxide and boiling water to kill anemones (aptasia). What was the name of the book?
