Oh oh..... if it's that bad, then how can I get rid of them?

Went to Henry that day to pick up a PO4 and he recommended me a fish (not sure the name but it looks quite ugly.....) to add into the tank. He said the fish will eat them up but till now I've not seen it eating the apitasia. In fact, it is pinching on my corals........ :(

By the way, my place is besides Queenstown MRT station.

That is a seagrass filefish. I used to have one in my office tank and it will nibble at anything and everything including aiptasia. There are several other methods to get rid of aiptasia including natural predators like peppermint shrimps, copperband butterfly and berghia nudibranch (not available in Singapore currently).

Chemical methods include squirting kalkwasser concentrate, lemon juice, boiling water or Joe's Juice into them.

Do not try to remove them manually as the broken tissue will end up spreading and spawning all over your tank!

I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate.

And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

get a syringe, mix some kalkwasser with a little bit of water to have a paste.

use the syringe to collect these paste and eject some on top of the apitsia.

it works for me, just remember to off your pumps or wavemaker when doing it.

caution for small volume tank, don't use too much when your tank volume is small.

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

Hahaha I doubt he will sell it after the kan cheong-ness he faced getting it to feed on frozen food. A word of caution though, copperbands are hard to get to feed in captivity, not impossible but you'd need patience and experience.

my 24G nano tank will burst out with it going in hahahah =p

hopefully got a small copperband at CF.

maybe ysl, if i get it feeding at my aptisia and once done,i pass it to you (if it's able to eat)

else to clear it, you can use the http://www.aquamarin.com.sg/productsDetail.asp?productid=281 or the redsea brand ($20+) from west coast shop.

those are quite recommended by shop owern (which i dont like to inject this inside my small tank)therefore trying to use predators like copperband to kill it

Had this in my tank in the past, and it's all gone.

What I did was use a syringe and hot boiling water . target syringe with hot water and inject directly above it .

Sometime it may take more than 1 time to eradicate it .

      CONTACT MUYERN TRUST HACKER TO RECOVER LOST OR STOLEN BITCOIN

      ( whats app:: +-1 /863/60/68/347 ) ( Mail; muyerntrusted[at] mail-me [dot] c o m ) I can still recall the unsuspecting exchange with my friend that was the gateway to a devastating scam orchestrated by hackers. Little did I know, his account had been compromised, and I was unwittingly drawn into their web of deceit. Over two days, the conversation turned sinister as I was roped into promoting Bitcoin mining and creating promotional videos for a dubious company under my friend's endorsement. In the blink of an eye, my account became a tool for perpetrating fraud, as the hackers exploited my credibility to scam my friends on Instagram. The losses were staggering, with $300,000 worth of Bitcoin and cash vanishing into thin air, leaving a trail of devastation in its wake. As accusations flew and fingers pointed, I was cast as the unwitting villain in a nightmare of my own. Turning to the online abyss for answers, I stumbled upon the Muyern Trust Hacker team, a beacon of hope in my darkest hour. The Muyern Trust Hacker team unraveled the intricate web of deception spun by the hackers, exposing the truth and clearing my name of any wrongdoing. With their help, I could reclaim my stolen assets and rebuild the bridges that had been burned in the firestorm of deceit. In the end, justice prevailed, and I emerged stronger and wiser from the crucible of adversity. Thanks to the Muyern Trust Hacker team, I was able to reclaim my reputation and regain the trust of my friends, proving that even in the face of betrayal, redemption is possible with the right support of Muyern Trust Hacker.
