How to eliminate Aiptasia ?!?

[woyeng**]

I bought some Joe's Juice to juice the aiptasia but when I approach it, it instantly vanishes... Na bay.... Any solutions from fellow reefers ?!

[kraken]

try again, this time round, not too close to aiptasia, they are like LPS, retract when approached. Do you like someone poking something in your face? same concept. Good luck

I would advice go and get filefish as it is the best, fast and natural way to eliminate the aiptasia.

most of the time, www.google.com will not disappoint you.

^{Thought a copperband is the best way to get rid of this aiptasia...}

[Slayer213]

Some reefer was offering a filefish for this matter, try searching the pasar malam section

So long as copperband or filefish are well fed, they won't bother aiptasia. But i think copperband needs to be trained.

Thanks. But Copper band and filefish are not reef safe and moreover not in my LS list, so it wont be humane to get them and then chuck them.

I have a peppermint Shrimp but I doubt it is all that effective, finally managed to spray some Joe's Juice into the Aiptasia and it has since not appeared for over 2 days, I think that did the job. I think the better solution for reef tanks should still be Joe's Juice or Kalk paste (google) but for Fish only tanks, then of course you can have your natural predators.
