go me!
lol

i have just spent the last 25 minutes, yes it took that long, to completely kill all of my aiptasia with aiptasia x!
there were seriously over a hundred in total between my reef and my lionfish tank.
the lionfish tank was fun, i always get scared when i have to put my arm in their tank lol.

also, on a side note, got offered another volitan today! oooh, so tempted!
then i would have 3 again, 1 4 inches, 1 5-6 inches, and the large 9 inch one

another side note, i was given a free yellow damsel today my lfs has had him for a while and he kept beating up any fish that was put with it. killed 6 in total.
my mate who runs the shop gave me him as he cant really bully a lionfish lol. even though teh damsel is about 3 inches, the lionfish has still been trying to eat him for the last hour lol. ive added more rocks and made a safe area for him to retreat to until they become friends

not sure what type of damsel it is, anyone know?

They can also do 100m in less than 10 seconds

. I think they move faster than some of my cleanup crew.

Many years ago I thought I had got rid of them with a couple of peppermint shrimps but they just have this canny knack of respawning.

With all the new horror movies out at the moment perhaps there a script in there somewhere. - "The return of the Aiptasia" or "The sting II"

Love it or hate it they pretty much here to stay - just keep having a clear-out every now and then - the soldering iron method is very therapeutic.

aiptasia x is the best ive used so far, they implode and die! muahahahasha!
