Joe's Juice

Joe's Juice is a caustic agent that can be fed to Aiptasia by spraying the product onto the mouth of the anemone. It did not damage Xenia or mushroom corals (Corallimorpharia) when sprayed onto them during tests, although it did kill Aiptasia. Nevertheless, care is suggested when using this product, since less robust corals might be damaged. Other anemones will consume this product, so be careful!

This product seems to act much like a calcium hydroxide (kalk or lime) slurry. It raises the pH, alkalinity, and calcium levels in a tank, and these parameters should be monitored carefully and frequently when applying this product, especially for first-time use.
