How Do I Kill Aptasia on a Rock?

Confuse · Jan 31, 2016

So I'm trying to place my Sherman rose on a rock next to all my anemones, but there's like 6 large aptasia on the rock. I'm afraid if I place the anemone on the rock, the aptasia will harm the anemone (is there any truth to that?). I need a way to kill the aptasia off that particular rock. I've tried smothering them with epoxy once, but they all kinda slipped through the epoxy. Is there anything that quickly kills aptasia on the spot? I'm not trying to control them, just wipe them off a particular spot so I can put my anemone there.

Any thoughts are appreciated! Thanks!

Aiptasia x works pretty fast.

kill all water flow and cover the aptasia with a kalkwasser paste.

Does it harm other stuff around it?

Not that I've noticed. Turn the pumps off, smother the aiptasia, the aiptasia will pop/shrivel up, then turn your pumps back on.

Aiptasia X has proven to be most effective for me, that's what I would use in this situation where you need to be sure it doesn't come back.

I have good result after using the Aptasia X also.

Thanks Oscar! I ordered some through Amazon Prime. Should be here by Tuesday. My Sherman is just desperate to bust out of the breeder box, can't wait!

As others have posted, Aptasia-x. Works great. Amazon Prime is awesome too...

I use Aiptasia X it worked and killed most of the Aiptasia. There were some hidden ones on a rock given to me and was placed in my tank. I had a really bad problem and couldn't find a solution, until I picked up a filefish that ate all of it.
