Apasia - jolly brown giant

[aiaman]

I was moving around some of my rock ledge yesterday, as I traded some bta & coral and discovered a gigantic aptasia. It was a dark brown and the oral disk you could have put a quarter in it. As soon as I saw it I got my aptasia x and hope I had enough. I didn't wait to get my camera as I wanted this dead & gone. I was in the back in a difficult place to get at. I was real careful to lace the oral disk so they wouldn't close up and then I injected a 1/2 5ml syringe into the beast, it's dead now.
I've never see such a giagantic one ever and it was left unchecked.
I then tore down all my lr on a hunt for more but didn't find any.
My poor fish were hiding and took a good long time to come out.
I'll give a few shrimp today as a bonus for all my tactics yesterday, hopefully they'll recover. nasty!

Lucky you only had one. I am having a huge out break of them right now.

Good catch cause they spread like wildfire I've heard.

What did u use, I just noticed a few

 

[aiaman]

I use aptasiaX & a small syringe. You need to drop some onto of the oral disk as I heard that glues its mouth & then push the end of the syringe into the mouth & fill 'er up

peppermint shrimp in groups of 4 or more have always worked for me.. takes a week or so but they clean them up...

 

[aiaman]

My nems always swallowed them up. With them gone now I'll try it out

common thread, mix up kalkwasser with fresh water into a paste and target shoot... just be careful of PH, works every time.
