aiptasia

Ive been dealing with aiptasia for months on end, I'd say around 7 months. I first used the Red Sea aiptasia x, as I was advised to do so by my local fish shop (who coincidentally introduced this into my tanks!) it didn't work, they all spread, they got huge, they reproduced and now that entire...

This is literally just to sate my curiosity because I like asking questions - I don't have aiptasia nor majano in my tank so I don't need help eradicating it. Anyway, I have a few pest 'nem questions! I know I could just google these, but I would rather ask people who are actually passionate...

Hello Everyone, I am doing a science research project in Highschool. I am currently working on creating a project outline on extracting the symbiodinium from samples of Aiptasia Pallida and introducing said symbiodinium to bleached zoanthid fragments. With the hopes of reviving the fragments...

I have 2 or 3 creatures growing in crevasses in a rock. These are 1/4 of an inch wide and look more to me like a baby Hammer than an Aiptasia. (See attached video) It seems to have near transparent tentacles with a small ball at the end. It grows very close to the rock and does not seem to have...

Found this guy on a small chunk of liverock I just added to my nano tank last night. Is this an aiptasia? I've already removed the rock it is on from the tank just in case, but if it isn't aiptasia I'd like to add it back since that stuff is expensive. I don't usually use live rock so I'm...

Hi all! I have seen baby aiptasia pop up in my tank very infrequently, I usually spot about 1-2 a week (if any at all) and I’m a person with really good eyesight. These baby aiptasia have always been on a rock or frag that I was able to pull out and treat out of water, however in this case, I...

5 for $40. Located in Broomfield. They have eaten every last aiptasia, so time to find them new aiptasia infested homes. Pick up only.

Does anyone know any alternatives to an emerald crab?I am trying to avoid emerald crabs, I was wanna get a coral banded shrimp but I know peppermint shrimp would eat the Aipstasia, I bought a frag that had some of both on it, I didnt really think much at the time but now I know what aipstasia...

Hi all! As stated, I think something is eating all my poor berghia. I’ve got a 29g mixed reef with an ever growing aiptasia problem so I got me some nudi’s, 10 to be exact. Now, this is actually my second time buying berghia because my first 6 all appear to have gone missing. Not like “oh yeah...

I have a lot of tiny aiptasia popping up around my tank (presumably from the last exile of the big aiptasia). I have used aiptasia-x on the last aiptasia almost a year ago. Now, my family members have pointed out that you can see many of them around the tank with a magnifying glass, they’re very...

My berghia have done their job, no aiptasia left, so looking to recoup some of what I paid for them and get them a new home. $12 each. Pick up only, located just north of Denver.

Is this 100% Aiptasia? I already have a peppermint shrimp I just got in the tank.

- hey do you have aiptasia? I'm hungry. Yes I would like to buy a shrimp to attempt killing aiptasia. Its a hit and miss, yes, I read the disclaimer. I'm in south carolina upstate.

Just noticed this and I think he has a little friend. Is this the start of aiptasia or is like a feather duster?

So I got 3 Berghia Nudiabranchs about an month ago and I put them into my tank to deal with Aiptasia and the Aiptasia amount has not been decreasing and I have not seen my Berghia Nudiabranchs since I added them. What do I do because I really need the Aiptasia gone but everything I have tried...

Can anyone tell me if I add an Australian Stripey to my tank, will eat eat my Berghia population? Bergia are breeding, but with such an infestation, they’re taking forever.

Hi Everyone, So I'm a newbie both here and to SW Fish. Aquired a 300ltr tank complete with rock, some fish, inverts and coral. Unlucky for me it has Aiptasia. I've read all the treatments but for one reason or another I don't think they're safe/practical. Is it possible to cut my corals...

Hello everybody. I haven't been on here for a while and that will also show with my tank. I have had the bubble algae issue for a long time. Probably 1 year with the aiptasia issue. I would go in and remove as much bubble algae and pulsing xenia as I could and I would forget about the tank again...

So I asked this when I first started before I knew what Aiptasia was. I have since observed Aiptasia in every single LFS retail location I have visited. They all have it in their systems. It's not a lot. It's not covering everything. But it's present. I understand and agree with the idea that...

As the title implies... Will Aiptasia-X or AiptasiaRx or Kalkwasser control and/or kill Vermetid snails? I thought if I could inject something into the Vermetid snail tube... it could kill it, then I thought how about the Aiptasia products that work so well killing Aiptasia (and creating 1000s...

I have had this bubble tip anemone for over 1.5 years, and it has done excellent, showing lots of growth in that time. The last few days, though, it has been struggling, going through inflation and deflation cycles 2-3 times a day. The times that it is inflated, it isn't fully extended, though...

idk how I got these tiny feather duster guys in the first place but they are getting completely out of control. I really don’t mind them on my rockwork but they are completely covering my eagle eye zoa. I’ve tried picking at them and brushing them off with no luck.. I heard from my lfs that a...

Is this aiptasia, or a feather duster? It’s in a really tricky spot to get to, but if I need to I can remove the coral skeleton to get at it.
