try vinegar in their mouths...don't try cutting them or pulling them out, then you will have an issue..

you did so, so tell dalget12 how much you used...

How are you using that aiptasia X?

Best way is to shut down all flow, be gentle and get a good sized blob over the mouth. Then leave the flow off for a good hour. Always works like a charm for me.

I use the pipette from the refractor fill with vinegar and then get real close to them and give me a full squirt down the throat. Depending on how large your system is will determine how much vinegar you can use. Vinegar will lower your ph if you use too much and it will also create a carbon dosing condition so if you use lots expect your skimmer to work over time. I would Google vinegar carbon dosing amounts for your size tank and then use that amount as your max amount to hit the aiptasia with. Hit the biggest ones first and get your self a true peppermint shrimp to help with the smaller ones.

I once used a syringe from TSC and filled it lemon concentrate and with the needle - I pushed a touch into each one - it causes them to melt.

TSC is great for syringes and cheap , 1ml up to 60ml

Aptasia X is a Temporary fix as I've found Vinagar, I had luck with a Peppermint Shrimp, They're off and on though but I'll tell you what works 100% is Bergia Nudibranch if you can find them. I bought 2 years ago from ORG and interduced them to my tank, The first night they laid eggs and had them in my systems ever since. I'm sure they travel to what ever tank that rock is in and you see them now and again floating through out the tank.

How to kill and remove Aiptasia for Free:

here is a video on how I do it. Free. Boiling water and suck them back out of tank. Easy and it won't change water chemistry at all.
