Lately I have had Major problems with Aiptasia and it's stinging my other Corals.

To deal with it I have been trying to get at them with Boiled water and move other corals away from them in an attempt to have the other heal. I can't get a syrainge because everywhere I go people look at me like a nut when I want to buy one without a prescription. SO...I am forced to deal with them SLOWLY by hopefully boiling the hell out of them whne they don't expect it AND trying not to harm other animals in the tank.

Which brings me to my LATEST problem. My red Brain is most harmed by these little bastards and I Just noticed that there is a small Aiptasia anomone growing ON the Coral itself!!! Now my thoguth were I could take out the Whole Coral...Reb brain...out of the tank and while it's in my hands attempt to cut the stupid Aiptasia off of the outer skeleton with an exacto knife. My QUESTION is...is there a better way? AND IF I do this...how can I be sure that the stump (if there is any) will not regenerate?

Boiling is out of the qustion since the problem is right on the animal I wish to save.

PLEASE get back to me ASAP on this one! Thanks everyone in advance.

Howdy,

There was a very useful thread started on 10-6 entitled "Nuisance anemone" which may help. As far as getting a syringe without the dirty looks, try a farm and ranch supply house. They carry all sizes of syringes and needles, for meds that can be administered to livestock without a prescription.

Wear your boots.

try using kalkawasser to kill them.

Could someone post a pic of one so I know what they look like?

Send me your address and I'll send you a few syringe's. My wife is an RN. I have found that the Kalkwasser mixed up in a thick paste will stick where you put it with a syring. It works really good.
