So I found some aptasia in my tank. It is on the stalk for my hammer coral. There are about 2-3 evident aptasia. Can I get a pole real quick on what works getting rid of these demons? I tried a peppermint shrimp... apparently I don't know how to acclimate shrimp because the thing died in the container I was drip acclimating it in. It did not even touch my tank! I paid 15 bucks for the thing because only one store had it in town and he was one of the more expensive ones... so now I have thrown 15 bucks at a problem that is no closer to being solved. Maybe my tank at 5 months still cannot sustain a shrimp? Anyways... I want the aptasia out. I was thinking Joes Juice but cannot find it in town. I will have to order it online and hope this demon does not spread. Any thoughts?
