I saw (and bought) something called aptasia-x at the local Petsmart (believe it or not) and bought it the other day....
After much searching on this board, seems like Joe's Juice got a lot of positive press along with other home remedies like boiling water w/ lemon etc etc.
Well, since I already HAD the aptasia-x I figured what the heck, might as well give it a go, since the one big aptasia I had looked like it had spawned at least one or two little babies right next to it... I had been content to let the little bugger sit there at first but he was slowly killing a patch of zoos in his immediate reach:
You can just make out the little bugger in the lower left here:
Anyway, when you squirt the stuff out (it comes with a handy syringe thing and two metal "needle" tubes) it looks like elmers glue and MAN did that thing shrink up fast when I blasted him with it... 24 hours later and NO WHERE TO BE SEEN. It acted like it was trying to "puke up" the stuff, but that didn't last long... (kinda felt bad actually a little bit.) When I kicked the power heads back on, I freaked a little bit since little bits of the stuff went all over the tank, but despite the fish trying to eat some of it, etc... no harm came to any other inhabitants.
Anyway, that sucker is GONE:
Just wanted to share since I'm sure with as many threads as there are on here already, there'll be no shortage of new folks wondering about how to get rid of these darn things!!
