Aptasia - New Tank - Angry

D

downwithfescue

OK, I need some help. I am starting my tank up 2 1/2 weeks with dead rock. I go to my LFS and pick up a piece of live rock to help seed my tank. Aptasia!!!! What is the best method to get rid of this. I look at the tank and didn't see any at the time.

Thanks for any advice.

Tank size? You can shoot it with kalkwasser paste. If you have a large tank a copperband will eat them, plus they are beautiful.

Don't just dump it in. Get a syringe at the drug store and take the needle out. Use that to shoot them up. Careful cause it will burn corals.

That's going to happen. It's also your job as a hobbyist/consumer to check your corals/rock etc when you buy them and when you get them home. I've learned this the hard way and so have many others on this forum.
 
If it is just one just put a piece of putty on top after couple months pop the piece of putty off.

I can deal with aiptasia. It's finding a LFS without flatworms that's killing me! Glad I'm set on corals for the tank for a good long time
