An account on how I removed Aiptasia among zoas and in the tank... My zoas mini colony was shrinking and there are 4-6 Aiptasia among them. Brought copperband and house together with zoas in QT tank but it didn’t work. Running through forum, learned that zoas can survive in freshwater but not the aiptasia... so I drip them into RO water for about 15 to 20min and place it back to display tank. All aiptasia are gone and after about 4 days of recovery, the zoas is back to it glory! Yea! One Aiptasia was visible in my display tank and so I try out the “Salifert Aiptasia Exit” and it works well even though some oversea reviews says it isn’t effective... When the needle touches aiptasia and it’s about to close, I injected 1ml of solution and immediately it shrink back. I can see the aiptasia struggling and it did not open again. A day later, it’s gone. Had monitor for last 5 days and it hasn’t appear/multiply elsewhere. Glad it works! Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Hi, like to trade a small 1 inch RBTA for LPS or softies ie candy / pipe / Kenya or coral that sway along with water column. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Oh yes... run a picture match, it’s aiptasia! Was wondering if it’s nudi or white starfish that has causes it. Thanks Indeco! It helps to narrow down the issues. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Hi. My zoas was well but last few days it’s been shrinking and I noticed another soft coral is growing. Not sure if is a pest? Are they the reason and should I pull them out? Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Some new additions... So excited so see orange/green Anemone splitting into two from 5cm small body. They have been moving toward the big white Anemone and staying very close. Wondering if it’s being stung that cause them to split or do they usually spilt at this size? [emoji28] Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

DIY, bottle with side trap door works too. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Yes, the bottle (with bottom holes) string method works when fishes chases food into bottle. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Hi... like to have some advice here on methods to catch fish within reef tank full of rock. Am trying to remove a damsel that pick on coral but with no success. Once the fishes saw the net, they went to hide even with food around. [emoji23] Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Same here. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

After 10 years of inactive saltwater aquarium and initial unsuccessful trials, finally it’s back to live again with much satisfying results! Reason? Better equipment, world’s knowledge on reef and reef community... Thank You Reefers & Singapore Reef for the support! Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
