That's really odd Doug. I just went through 4 boxes of rock, not an aiptaisia in sight.
Where did this "live rock" come from?

Problem I see with stores these days is many don't order rock anymore. They take it as trade ins, buy tanks full from shut downs, etc. Then sell it as new. But in the end, after a couple years of running a reef, you risk getting pests regardless of what rock you use. Unless you never add anything but the rock.

Aiptaisia IMO is inevitable. And as far as pests go, not really high up in the ratings. Unless you get one and let it reproduce for a few months

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

Green filefish. Mine is awesome at hunting down some aiptasia that also got into my tank from someone else's rock/corals when I bought their stuff.
