Currently only managed to spot 5 polyp of this. i tried squirting it with very hot water (not boiling yet) but it didn't die.. i read sunkist lemon can kil aiptasia instantly..

Hmm. Can try peppermint shrimp. Buy those from carabbean sea. Works for me.

Yeah might get 1 or 2 if really got aiptasia. Thanks!

Alright.. Do those sunkist lemon works? I've seen video on ppl using needle to squirt into the mouth but those aiptasia is too small for me to do that..

Joe's juice, kalkasser, vinegar, boiling water...

Bergia nudi, peppermint shrimp, Seagrass filefish...

Do not try to pluck them away, they will retract into the rock, worse will Break off, split and multiply...
