Aiptasia in filter/skimmer chamber!

[joewell]

I've had an aiptasia free tank for over a year but I spotted one a rock couple of days ago and my peppermint shrimp took care of it! Being puzzled on why I got aiptasia I started looking around to see if I can find more!

I noticed one attached to the wall in my chamber of death and one close to skimmer! How do i get rid of those? I can imagine how they got there and I'm sure I'll see more popping up in the next few weeks!

I know there are people on this site that have used Joes Juice and or Lemon Juice to kill them in a targetted way.

Aiptasia-X works well, if you can get at them with the syringe. Turn off the back chamber pumps if you try it - that'll make it easier to get whatever you shoot them with to stay on them long enough.

+1 on Aiptasia-X. I like the Syrigne head that curves 30 degrees best. I got then in on a coral colony rock a couple of months ago and been fighting them since. I go after then while doing water changes and my tank is powered down. I'd say have fun but it's not!

Can someone post a photo of Aiptasia so I can see what it looks like?
