So used some of this today on some things....one i know is a lgr aspestia, the 2nd a baby aspestia, and the 3rd wat i think is aspestia or some kind of glass anenome. The 3rd has thin tentacles and pretty much clear with maybe a lil red on the tentecles......
Anywho i turned all the stuff of in my tank and moved in slow with the syringe, got all 3 of em and covered the nearby area....I just turned everything back on and all but the lgr aspestia is out and looking fine!~Wth does this not work instantly or am i just really impatient here....do i have to use it multi times maybe once a day till the pests are gone or wat/????
Any info is appreciated thxs~devin

Okay, make sure you get it IN THE MOUTH of the aiptasia firstly. Secondly, once it's smothered and starts to shrink, stab it at the base if possible and inject more in. You have to really smother the **** out of them, but once they're smothered, if you stab them and inject more, you'll have much better success. I only use Aiptasia X and this method works for me quite well.

My tanks have been without power for multiple hours in the past.... Is it ideal? No. But once in awhile is not going to do any harm. The floating particles from the Aiptasia X will do more harm, if it lands on other things, such as your corals, because it can burn them. You have zoanthids, which are especially stressed out from Aiptaisa X.

ya the pink zoos in there have a sm pink aspstia growing like right next to em...u can tell they arent liking it! Earlier when i treated i left the power off for like 15 min maybe. This time im gonna leave it off till the lights go out and thatll be a good half an hour from now! I got the lil one good right in the mouth. The glassy one is bothered and not coming out so i went in and stuck him as far as i could....it says not bad on corals, prb stressful though like u suggest!

I've used Aiptasia X to control my Aiptasia fairly effectively for quite some time. A few months ago I had Majano hitchhike in on some coral. The Aiptasia X doesn't even phase the Majano. I eventually tried Joe's Juice and it works quite well. It instantly obliterates the Majano. If I were you, I'd get a bottle of Joe's Juice.
