Aptasia on zoa plug

[jgraz]

I noticed 2 very tiny aptasia or majanos on the blue hornet plug I picked up at the swap. I did a dip in coral Rx before they went in the tank and clearly made it through. What other dips are available for zoas? Can I use Bayer? Will dip work for them? They are very tiny, I'm not even sure I'd be able to inject them that's why I was looking at other options. Thanks in advance.

I have never heard of any kind of dip that would work on them.. I am pretty sure injecting them is the only way to get rid of them..

Figures. Maybe I'll try to scrape them off or at least cut off the tiny piece of plug they are on.

Dip them in hydrogen peroxide.

Scrape then lemon juice wash...in the area they were located

I have beer dealing with a bunch of them on the clam I got from Dr Mac. I can't dip the clam so I have been injecting them and scraping them with a syringe filled with lemon juice and hydrogen peroxide. Then a tooth brush. I have done it 3 times already. When I first did t there was like 15 easy. Today I saw only 2. You can dip zoas in hydrogen peroxide and it won't harm them.

Cut the plug off or just seal them over with if gel or epoxy. Just do it outside your tank so the spawn does not get out.
