How to get rid of Apista?

[clkong]

apista right?

anyone can advise how to get rid of it without killing the nearby Zoas?

will KW spray kill the Zoas too?

Cant use natural predator as i have a pair of coral banded shrimps and no room for more fishes

Can help to ID the orange face green shirt zoas on the left?

Thanks

Bro, u can use iodine, kw solution or Joe juice and use syringe to inject direct to the mouth and thr the "throat". The first 2 if not done properly might kill coral. For Joe Juice, it claims reef safe. Alternatively, scrap them using off using pen knife(must take out of tank to do it) etc. This method works for those u can reach. For those u cannot reach, got to use live stock like confirmed copper band butterfly, peppermint shrimp, file fish, etc but effectiveness depends cos once they feed on fish food etc, they might not perform as intended.

if scraping, scrape off EVERYTHING and make sure NOTHING is left on the rock..... and make sure the bits don't go back into your tank... otherwise they will spread.. i wouldn't reccomend this method. too risky

btw those aren't aiptasias. other pest anemones...

cleared using kw solution. as

long as not directly on the zoa, they are safe.

Note: best to quarantine it, i notice one of it that i didn't manage to kill it the first time ... move to somewhere else. Hope that is the only one.
