I just noticed what I think is Aptasia in the middle of a frag in my tank. Is this Aptasia and if so what is the best method to get rid of it?

That won’t hurt the zoas?
If I remember correctly, the bottle comes with a syringe and a precise long needle that you can use to directly feed it to the nem without impacting the zoas.

I would just use sparingly and try to only feed it to the nem. It looks quite small though so it might do it in one application. But the syringe makes it easy to use and you can be precise with it without impacting your zoas.

I should probably clarify, it could kill your zoas if they digest it. I don't know whether slightly "aggrevating" them so they close up first and then nuke the nem could be the best option.. I've never dealt with aiptasia on a coral frag before, so I can't say for sure.
