If you put about a half of a drop of real food in the syringe, they should grab it and open wide, then blast them. You gotta make them think the syringe is tasty.

I havta answer this.....:D Because i read this and tried and it has worked 'FLAWLESSLY'. Fill enough warm ro water in a glass to fill a syringe and add almost a teaspoon of pure calcium powder and mix it up so that its liquid form but on the virge of turning to paste.....get real close to the anemone and push the calcium out on to the anemone and it will curl up and shrink....squirt just a hair more in the hole area he was in and 'bingo', he will never return. I have tried this abd it works fantastic ! I have already nuked a dozen + and have had no returns of them what-so-ever of the ones i nuked. I even used it near polyps and if you're careful, nothing will be bothered.

Add a little black pepper to the mix. For some reason, the pepper seems to be the trick to make sure they consume your tonic. I've tried just using a basic calc paste before with only a 50% success rate. By adding the ground black pepper, it seems to have elevated my success rate to over 90%. The pepper will have no ill effect on your overall health of the system.

get a syringe and get chemi marin.it worked well for me. you dont have to inject just slowy blow it at it to make it seem like fodd and they will shrivel and fall right off.

I use the regular, store bought, ground pepper. Usind an upside-down spoon and a paper plate, on a solid surface will crush the pepper to a "fine" consistancy. Mix only a pinch of it into your potion. Load up your syringe (w/o the needle) and squirt the paste into the mouth of the villian. They will swallow it like candy, turn black, and melt away. Seems to me to be the missing link in assuring a successful battle.

Here is the pic of the Gammaridean amphipod, the clear skeleton you have in your tank floating around.
