I put the glue over the mouth?Hi @stewy14 , this may be in the wrong part of the forum but i have a quick resolve well spending almost no to small amounts of money. I have done this with a few frags from the LFS and it has worked out.
If you have any super glue gel or super glue available, dab over each aiptasia attempting to avoid any of the zoa. Once the superglue is in the water it will create a film and lock them into the glue.
Monitor and see if any small aiptasia pop up and repeat the process. Do not pick at them with tweezers especially in the tank as they will spawn and create many more.
Hope this helps, if on a budget this can definitely work.

I have 2-3, half inch aiptasiaSo - you mean you have a 2-3 inch aiptasia on some of your plugs, etc
IMHO - Inject. and prepare for the babies - with BerghiaSo condensing down - you have aiptasia (a couple) - that are large around some other corals.
I'm assuming the 'needle thing' is an injection of one of a number of chemicals.
