Apistasia on coral

[Angelfish56]

There are two of them on my green star polyps fleshy part and how would I get rid of them without a peppermint shrimp

Boil water add lemon juice and squirt it at them.

Won't that hurt the coral

 

[Jlsardina]

No. I saved some zoas this way. The zoas took off like wild fire afterwards

So how much Lemmon juice and would a straw work

Not too much. Try to use a syringe or a dropper. You want to aim in their mouths

Why not get some aiptasia x it is thicker and won't hurt the surrounding corals. I use lemon juice, vinegar or boiling water if there is no corals around. I have thought about peroxide lately to get a couple of stubborn ones that keep coming back. It won't mess with the water but I am not for sure what it will do the aiptasia.

Shoot em with a laser! I am dying to get some aiptasia so that I can buy a laser to shoot at em! I told my wife that is the only way to kill the beasts!

A 1w laser. It's like $100 but it will literally burn them
