    So how big a deal is Aiptasia really?

    So I asked this when I first started before I knew what Aiptasia was. I have since observed Aiptasia in every single LFS retail location I have visited. They all have it in their systems. It's not a lot. It's not covering everything. But it's present. I understand and agree with the idea that...

    Aiptasia-X or Aiptasia Rx or Kalkwasser control and/or kill Vermetid snails

    As the title implies... Will Aiptasia-X or AiptasiaRx or Kalkwasser control and/or kill Vermetid snails? I thought if I could inject something into the Vermetid snail tube... it could kill it, then I thought how about the Aiptasia products that work so well killing Aiptasia (and creating 1000s...

    Anemone Acting Weird

    I have had this bubble tip anemone for over 1.5 years, and it has done excellent, showing lots of growth in that time. The last few days, though, it has been struggling, going through inflation and deflation cycles 2-3 times a day. The times that it is inflated, it isn't fully extended, though...

    Coral not opening up like before and sponge problems

    My corals have been recently not opening up as big as they did before. Nothing really changed. My GSP has been suffering since sponges are growing on it, but nothing happened to other corals. I tried manually removing the sponges but they were soft and wouldn’t come off so i was afraid to hurt...

    My experience with Aiptasia as a severely visually impaired person so far.

    Ok, we all know that there is no magic spell we can cast Aiptasia out with. Before I lost most my vision I was able to keep Aiptasia at bay. Yeah, yeah, I know I’ll hear about how bad a reefer I am for even letting Aiptasia in my tank to begin with. I draw similarities to my motorcycle days...

    chaeto aiptasia...

    Hi guys. Not a question as far as ID.... I know aiptasia when I see it. That being said, I've found 3-4 visible aiptasia in my chaeto in my 1g HOB refugium... The chaeto ball has grown from about a baseball size to the size of a softball and running out of room. Question is, can I do a...

    Aiptasia?

    Good Day! I've been looking all over for a while trying to figure out what this is that came with a used setup. I think it could be aiptasia, but i'm not 100%. I'd hate to kill something that's not a pest. It's on a small piece of rock, so I will pull it from the tank if it is aiptasia. It...

    Is this aiptasia? Help!

    I spotted these strange tentacle looking things on my zoa rock. Is this aiptasia? I moved the rock to a quarantine tank for the time-being. There were a few other rocks very close to this one. Should I take them out as well and try to salvage any Zoas I can?

    Possible Aiptasia ID

    Hi everyone, I’m a reasonably new reefer and was wondering what this little hitchhiker might be. I’m concerned it could be aiptasia but it has only slowly grown over a month or so and it has not reproduced to my knowledge. It also doesn’t look like aiptasia that I’ve seen. Any help would be...

    Help with Aiptasia
