I`ve noticed aptasia super close to my leather

It's notice aptasia super close to my leather. How can I get rid of it? I'm afraid of using hot water and lemon juice this close to the leather.

 

[Choonchiesback]

A better picture.

Peppermint shrimps? Or bullseyes with your syringe.

 

[Choonchiesback]

Only syringe I have doesn't have needle. :0(
I don't want to end up with 42 peppermint shrimp in the tank and have none of them eat it LOL

Joe's juice works I've used it with no ill effects to coral or fisj

 

[Reef79]

Oops fish

 

[Reef79]

Sorry you will have to dose them a couple times larger ones several times

I have ONE aiptasia in my tank and it's on the top of an astrea snail. I scrub it every week, and it grows back. I bought a peppermint shrimp las week. I'm starting to get tired of it. I think I'll blast it with orange juice tonight.

 

[nuwave59]

sorry....I meant lemon....but orange is so much better!

It's on a drag I just got for free. If I have to sacrifice a bit of the leather I guess I can. Might take a lighter to it.

 

[Choonchiesback]

Frag not drag

I have epoxy. Can I epoxy over it? If not. Here comes the lighter.

Took a better pic with my camera. See how close it is to the leather. It's like right below it

Using a lighting, or a cooking torch (much better precision), has always been the best way I've removed aiptasia/mojano.

Rick I'm just so scared cause it's super close to the leather. I'm thinking about using a medal spike to kill it and then epoxy over it.

Yes, you can definitely do that too. Go with what you're comfortable doing.

Going to burn the s.o.b with this. It's on a smooth rock so I'm hoping it works.

 

[AquaRick]

Nice. Burn baby burn!

 

[Choonchiesback]

I got it all out. Foot came right out stuck to it. Smells like burnt fish now. LOL

Was able to get it all out without even touching the leather. Woohoo!!

 

[Choonchiesback]

What's left of the aiptasia! I think I found a new way of getting rid of them. An it only cost me $5!!
