aptasia amongst zoos

[Tazmaniancowboy]

What is the best way to remove aptasia growing between zoos? I'm sure there is no easy way, but can I still use joes juice?

throw them away.

Cut off the rock where the anemone is if you can.

Taz get a copperband butterfly. It worked for me ;D

If you need some new Zoos let me know. I have some I can spare. ;D

Jit them with Kalk paste at night when the zoas are closed. Turn off the pumps so you don't blow the paste around.

i used joes juice on mine in the same situation, came up smack dead in the middle of my colony . i just carefully spread the juice on the disc, trying as much as possible to avoid my zoas.zoas stayed closed for a few days ( most likely from the stings not the juice)......also not a bad idea cutting off your circ pumps in tht area of your tank

Tried this, We'll see what happens...2 days now and half the amt of aptasia, zoos doing ok.

throw them away.

Ed, That was my first thought....May be a mistake by keeping them, We'll see.

Had copperband and didn't touch them, You sure you have enough zoos? LOL Thanks anyway, they are blue zoos.

Mike cant do that, there were about 12 in between a colony.

I would frag the zoos sans the apstia and throw away the rest.

Agree with this or peroxide its kinda cool to see the bubbles coming out the mouth of the aptasia.

I have been using AiptasiaX to move aiptasia around in my tank. ;D I have used AipX next to and above my cabbage and hammer branch corals w/o ill effects.

 

[The_Codfather]

what about Berghia Nudibranchs?

 

[Nickjr000]

Toss them, or break the rock apart and toss the pieces with the apps. Once they spread their just such a pita

I have some aptasia x if you want to try it.
