DIE AIPTASA DIEEEE. YEEE :twised:

[Starry]

can you use the nudies if you have wrasses?
Joes juice is just kalk paste I belive. I too am battling these demons. I have problems injecting as my hands shake too much.

I had aptasia problem as well. Left it alone for awhile but was getting out of hand. Had about a dozen around rocks on tank. Could not source any nudis so went to JL and got three peps. Figured if at least one ate the aptasia then the others would follow. Less than a week ago. No aptasia visible anymore. Maybe try another couple peps?

I just picked one up and it hasn't touched any aiptasia yet. He's still in quarrantine and maybe its because he hasn't fully settled in yet. But I have 3 leathers attached to live rock that I moved to that tank due to space restrictions in the main reef and they each have 3 or 4 aiptasia on the base of the rock that the leather is attached to, so far, the file hasn't gone after a single one.

I have one peppermint and one file fish in that quarrantine tank and neither have gone after a single nem yet.

Each piece of aiptasia well become a new 1. Vinegar injection! Trust me =)

Squirt some mysis into the aptasia, the pep will eventually see the aptasia as food. I have one pep in my display and rarely see aptasia. The sump on the other hand... Loaded with them. I bought 6 more peps for my sump (apparently they like to be in groups), less than a week ALL my aptasia GONE.

Aptasia X works well for me. Sometimes I can get the needle right in the mouth and inject down inside them. Works great.
