Your aiptasia experience/s?
I found some aiptasia in my tank a while ago, panicked and removed the rocks, then found some more tonight. Sounds common place, yet it doesn't, at the same time. So figured I'd post a poll...
For those who've gotten rid of 'em, or had them under good control, what are/were your method/s? I'm looking for peppermint shrimp tomorrow, and finding out where to buy NaOH.

i don't think mine are safe to leave alone. I've found 4 tonight that weren't there this morning. And plus there were the ones on the rock I removed about 2 weeks ago. I'll begin my war this week

I keep a couple of peppermint shrimp, they keep the aptasia under control. I do have a patch of mojanos that I need to nuke though.

I have a couple in my tank. Been slowly nuking them with Joes Juice. I do about 2 a week or as I can find them. Its only been a couple of weeks so I don't know about those that have used JJ and had them grow back in greater numbers etc. I'm not sure how fast these things grow so I'm not sure what to expect. I think there are a group hiding in secret in the back of the tank where I can't reach but previously I had a whole (smallish) rock with lots of small ones on it that I just yarded out and put in the sump.
