what is this...looks evil

[erenninger]

anyone know what this is?

aiptasia,pest anemone,- kill it. joes juice, kalk, lemon juice, or boiling water -- injected into its mouth. They spread like wildfire if not killed quickly.

can I do this in the tank? its on my large piece of rock. will any of this kill anything else if i inject?

 

[olemiss]

It's fine to do in the tank. There are probably more, keep searching and killing as you find them. I go on an aiptasia hunt every Sunday and always find new little ones zap. I prefer Joes Juice myself. Only need be careful if using near a good anemone such as a sebae, gbta.....

make sure you turn off you power heads and pumps when you treat them.....you don't want that stuff to spread around the tank.
