Since having an issue with Aiptasia anemones in my reef tank I have tried various methods to get rid of them. The most effective so far has been the direct treatment with Aiptasia-X from Red Sea. This liquid product seems to be more effective at eliminating these pests than other things I have tried including Peppermint Shrimp. It is also easier to apply than some of the paste style remedies. During treatment the anemones do not withdraw and instead seem to want to ingest this stuff. Hmm? Anemone crack?
I give Aiptasia-X a thumbs up as an effective treatment to rid your aquarium of the pest Aiptasia anemone. Take your time and read the instructions. This stuff seems safe but it is important that you:
- Halt all of the flow in your tank during treatment
- Use fresh activated carbon after treatment
- Do not treat more than the recommended amount in one day
