I use lemon juice in a syringe. The insulin syringes from a pharmacy work well. I haven't had one since my tank first started up.

Do you have links to pictures of these strains of anemones? You have piqued my curiosity.

LOL, they all look the same. It was just a joke regarding the rate that they spread. Sometimes they're fast, sometimes they're slow.

Cheapest and easiest.....go to Canadian Tire, head to paint department and buy a 9 dollar bottle of Muriatic Acid. The stuff works awesome.

if you're looking for fish suggestions for your FOWLR, could consider a tile fish. Not that big, little strange looking, follow you around the tank plus eat aptasia.

You have a scientific name for the tilefish?

I wouldn't try to dig or cut it. Any small part/fragment (especially the foot) can grow into a whole new anemone. I use a kalkwasser paste and inject it directly into the anemone with a hypodermic (insulin) needle. Works everytime, and works great!

+1 for lemon juice in a syringe, sometime I even microwave it for a bit so it's nice and hot for those little buggers
