Can someone tell my the best way to get rid of these pesty anenomes I have used joes juice and boiling water and they keep comeing back.

make up a paste with kalwasser, make it real thick and smear it over the pests... make sure you dont get it on other things by mistake...

Is there a fish out there that likes to eat them

Some people have had good luck with peppermint shrimps...

its a 50/50 chance though (they are cheep enough to try 2 or 3 though)

Thanks I'll have to try something because I can't seam to get rid of theme and i'm ready to give up.

well dont give up just over some aptista's !!!

How big is your tank ??

Its a small tank 33 gal but I have bean trying to get rid of them for a long time now with no luck. I also have a 90gal that I have not set up yet I need to get rid of this problem first. So the kal paste that your talking about do you use a syringe to inject them

I had quite a few aptasia and tried Joes juice. However, I think the issue is there are always some that are too small to see or located where you can't get/see them.

I tried a peppermint shrimp and initially nothing changed. Added another peppermint and they were all gone in a within a week. Amazed at how well they worked!! Best solution to this problem and the bonus is the peppermints are pretty cool too look at as they "sway" back and forth when hanging out. Great addition to the tank.

I'd get 3 or 4 peppermints for your tank, and maybe even try the kalwasser paste, make it real THICK, use an old popsicle stick to smear it on :)

I second the kalk paste. Like the above post said, make it thick and spoon it on. Just watch your pH if you have a relatively small tank.

I used kalk paste as well, worked great but they always came back. Hard to find all of them in the rockwork. Added 3 peppermint shrimp and haven't seen one since.
