I have a small aptaisia that has popped up on my zoo - right in the darn middle! Can I use Aptasia X or something like that and not worry about harming the zoo ?

I used aiptasia X on the one on top of my zoo...it killed about 6 polyps surrounding it, I don't know if the aiptasia stung that section, or the aiptasia X is to blame.... It is a large colony, over 150 polyps, the aiptasia would do more damage than losing surrounding polyps so I used the aiptasia X.
So it will kill a few of the zoa.

If I remember right I have an old bottle of Aptasia X in my extra fridge. I was thinking it states that it is not harmful to coral, but I don't trust that 100%. I guess if I lose a polyp or two it woudl be better than letting the aptasia take over. And I guess the polyps will eventually grow back.

I agree, a few polyps lost are better than aiptasia taking over....aiptasia X shouldn't hurt the coral but who know what killed the polyps???
...aiptasia stings coral and kills it, so maybe the medicine didn't.
