whats the best why to kill Aiptasia

[ryeguy28]

i was wondering what the best way to get rid off Aiptasia

 

[mr.reef24]

well Berghia are the best route but good QT practices help as well with QTing any new live rock, corals you can get them before they get in the display peppermint shrimp are good as well.

Copperband butterflyfish will clear the Aiptasia in no time, never fails.

Like Mr. reef said a berghia nidibranch will eat all of the aiptasia, but will starve to death after there all gone. There are also several butterflies that will help keep aiptasia under control but not totally eliminate them. I have had good success using blue life aiptasia control and joes juice. They can both be found at marine depot.

Funny as this sounds but there's Joes juice works great, or the Copperband

i may sound crazy but i think I am gonna just have a tank where I let them grow I kinda like how they look.

what kind of things can you put in with them to cohabitate

majaono anemone's are good with aptasia
There is a local guy actually running a 10 gallon "PEST TANK"
It's really cool actually

I'd always thought about an aiptasia/bristleworm grow out tank. Good to hear someone's done it intentionally.
