aiptasia pic?

[goinpostal]

i ahve just gotten live rock and i think that there is alot of aiptasia or at least that is what it looks like not sure.
what are the chances of that living through the cycle?

 

[GrndHog]

Yep, thats what it is and the chances-----Outstanding!

I used hot (almost boiling) water injections to get rid of mine.

 

[goinpostal]

are they something that i don't want?
i thought they were kinda cool

 

[scuba_steve]

better than hot water use kalk and inject in into the base they well be dead almost instantly

[goinpostal]

i don't like the idea of having to kill them how mean

 

[scuba_steve]

Joe's Juice is getting rave reviews all over the internet

 

[rrdodge1283]

Defiantly! "Joes Juice" made a believer of me! Had 100+ I ordered it through web and there all dead except a few. My new Copperband Butterfly that is in QT needs something to eat when he comes out in a few day's My peppermint shrimp are on strike since they were purchased. But from 100+ to mabye 10 or 15 much more managble ( Their like a dandelion in a beautiful lawn, to many and it gets rather ugly! "kill e'm kill e'm all" "Dirty little bastard's")

Definitely Joe's Juice.

You can check out the results I had with his product on

www.joesjuice.com

It is much better than using kalk because the solution has an ingredient in it that makes the aitasia think it is food. They ingest the juice and BOOM its gone. No injection either.

Hope this helps.

well i just talked to mike a lr.com (getting more rock 2 day) well he told me it is not aiptasia they don't have them is those waters.? that i should not kill the and that i should feed them shrimp, so i did last night it was pretty neat

 

[GrndHog]

He also told me not to worry if I found a few mantis shrimp.

Those sure look like aips to me, I guess no one ever told those they weren't supposed to be there

 

[goinpostal]

well i ordered joe's juice today it is probably better safe than sorry so i'm taking your word for it
