well i had an aptasia that was growing rather quickly so i decided to try and get rid of it... my solution, seeing as there was only one and wanted to give it a try without resorting to chemicals and all kinds of things, pull the bastard off...
firstly i had noticed that it had moved onto a fairly flat area so decided to strike! i got a syringe (without a needle) and just pulled back as quickly as possible, then ejected into a bucket again and again... then whilst i had the majority of it out i had some lemon juice and just squirted the area with about 30ml of juice. id read of people injecting the aptasia with lemon juice so i figured, hey its wounded and if theres any left its bound to end up ingesting this...
ill keep you posted on the aptasia situation as it progresses...
on the plus side some of my hermit crabs went crazy trying to get little bits of lemon floating around... nom nom nom....
