Lemon Juice & Aiptasia

[Nikki]

I was wondering if anyone had ever successfully used the lemon juice injection method described here How To Eliminate Aiptasia Anemones with Lemon Juice A Reef Tank Safe, Effective, and Easy to Perform Injection Procedure That Costs Only Pennies! to rid themselves of aiptaisas?

I've used it a few times a few years ago with great results. It's the acidity in the juice that kills them.

You don't have to go out and buy lemons if you have some plain white vinegar on hand. Vinegar works just as well if not better than lemon juice.

I do not have a syringe and needle so I will need to go out for that anyway :-) Maybe I will try both and see which one works faster? Although I guess if they both work that is what matters most.

I use boiling hot water...kills instantly

I am now armed with syringe, needle, lemon juice and white vinegar. So you inject him with boiling hot water and he just dies? Does he shrivel up, do you pull him out?

kinda just withers away...never pulled mine out, I think they just died in the rock because they do contract (lack of a better word, its early)
