I only tried Aiptasia X once on about 4 different aiptasia. At first I thought I was successful, as I did not see them for a couple days. But then they came back, in the exact same spot. So, I just came to the conclusion that it doesn't work, and didn't try a 2nd treatment. Maybe I was too hasty with that?...

A did apply it once to each aiptasia just above it so it would drip in then it would close and swollel it had a couple of Mojano too. Aiptasia would pop up in other spots. I did apply quite a bit each and turned off wave maker too. I just kept up with them every day spot ones here and there. It seems that if you just let them be more sprout up so you have to be persistent. Eventually no more new sprouts.
