Killing an Aiptasia Anemone

Postby Brandon on Sat Jun 21, 2003 2:46 pm

Had one Aiptasia come in on a rock with some other coral .. I isolated it to my nano, so I would not get it in my main tank. He was neat to watch, but didn't want them to spread to anywhere else.. so I just took care of him.

Do you use a chainsaw to cut frags? :lol: At least you can be sure that it is dead.

Good job,
Scott
Wanted: to set up a tank again.

LOL that is just too much. Between Mikes pliers, your blow torch this sounds like something off of Pulp Fiction.

It was gonna be either that or jab it with a hot soldering iron. This was in a nano, so was really easy to remove the rock. I wanted to get the sponge off it anyways.. No chemicals, or decaying aiptasia to linger in a really small tank. I don't know what type of sponge that was encrusting the rock.. but it is nasty stuff.. their were crap loads of pods living in it though.
