Have you tried Joes Juice on the aptasia? I have never had one come back after using it...IDK how many you have though....LOL

+1 on Joes Juice. I have always had good luck on it. A friend of mine tried Aptasia X and had no luck as well.

im pretty sure it does kill them but i just have soooooooo much i think i need to buy alot and just kill all of them i see and then whenever i see more get them

I use Aptasia X and it does work, You have to let it sit on there a bit ,Then make sure you suck it out with a hose or turkey baister.

Hey
personally ive always been scared of aptasia in my tank (ive seen what it can do to an aquarium) so every time ive seen one in my tank( only twice) ive take the peice of rock out and actually torched it and then brushed it away and then let the rock sit in SW for a bit and then do it again. this really makes sure ive killed it lol i guess this only works when you have smaller rocks and when there are only a few of them.
just a sugestion. Im far from an expert in this hobby. Ive seen ppl go through countless bottles on aptasia X and joes juice and still have aptasia survive. Nothing i know can survive intence heat lol.
Works for me and my tanks been aptaisa free (thank god)
