Aiptasia- to lemon juice or boil?

[dbelli]

Just discovered my first stalk of aiptasia. Unfortunately, it is on a stalk of one of my zoos. Which is better for the zoos? Don't want to harm them, but want to get rid of aiptasia. My lfs doesn't sell Joe's juice. So, boiling water or lemon juice? :notsure:

Can you put peppermint shrimp in your tank? I would try that first. It worked for me.

Lemon juice worked great for me. I used a small insulin needle.
Good luck!

Some pepps eat aiptasia, but not all. Mine don't. I had to order Joe's Juice online, boiling water and lemon juice didn't work for me.

Joes Juice is still available on line........S&H plus Juice would still be less than a $10 bill and much less than whatever coral aip is threatening.
But lacking JJ, I would go for the lemon juice as it too works very well and is dirt cheap to do, as long as you have a hypodermic needle.

will any of these hurt my zoos? don't want to hurt them.
