Default Aptasia

Ok, so I know how to get rid of these on rocks and such. But this one is growing on the stalk of my kenya tree. How the hell do I remove this without damaging the kenya???

OH Michelle, I just went though that!! in fact mine is the 3rd day after I think a massive sting, I had to use epoxy and manhole cover him!! there are pics in my 55 thread I think. it seemed to help so far, I thought I was gonna loose my leather!! The coraline grows so quick in my tank that it will be covered in no time.

try the usual suspects, kalk paste,Joe's juice,lemon,boiling water etc, I find its only the heads that do any harm, if you can kill it the body will drop off, maybe time for the Peppermint Boys to roll into town?

I agree with Steve, and if you don't kill it on the first attempt I would go with Matt's idea.

How many aiptasia do you actually have in the tank? What are you going to feed the copperband once the aiptasia is gone? Kathy, what does yours eat? I am asking because most of the time they seem to starve in captivity for some reason.
