Question for everybody. I was looking around the tank and found an Aiptasia growing under a little Zoa colony. First time I’ve noticed it. Will Hydrogen Peroxide kill Aiptasia. It’s on a small rock and I was thinking of just dipping it in H2O2 to try and knock it out.

I think Lemon juice is the recommended solution. Or Kalk paste.

Not sure if I can get to its disc under the Zoa’s to inject anything. I know I can dip the entire rock in H2O2 without harming the Zoa’s but not sure if that will kill the Aiptasia.

Or take the rock out and cover it with superglue...less risky

Nice! The internet does come in handy for this hobby for sure. I've always felt that dipping stresses the coral enough so why not dip in its own water..which could be a no no to someone..who knows. Favorites is a tough one. I got 4 scooby doos with 2 of them for gifts. My favorite underrated SBB acro for sure. Shane and Ralph threw me a freebie of Sugar Daddy, red octane and an unknown which I haven't bought before. I'm glad I got them..they surprised me when I put them in the tank..beautiful color. After you @ryshark told me about the blood moon and I have seen @adsf430 mention it, I grabbed one. I should have grabbed one sooner! Very nice color...thank you for the suggestion. The bubble bobble, deadly catch, voltron and pink kitty look fantastic right out the box! Really looking forward to the white walkers coloring up and I know what the Tasty taffy does in my tank and that's why I bought more! The pink mango is another great one..looks like a darker version of Bubblegum which is one of my favorites. The ring pops are already nicely colored and I expect they will be stand outs in the next month or two. Cheshire Cat mini colony already has some interesting colors (light pinks also) that I feel are going to be wild in a short time. I also know what the tiger does in my tank and the pics on the sale don't show what it becomes..it's a banger. I've had
Plenty of SBB acros that have changed appearance in my tank and always for the better..the surprises always impress me the most. Anyways, sorry about the long answer but it's a question with varying answers.
I’m usually not one to talk about growth formations, but the blood moon is also unique. Will make a nice contrast from the others when it grows out.

100% this. turn off all flow and pick rock up and take it out. try to pop off that zoa frag on top and then TRY to cut off the aptasia with a sharp razor. This works well when you do it under water but not in your tank. After your done over glue the area with super glue use a generous amount.

This is what I did basically when I found a couple.

Removed the rock/frag, scraped the aiptasia from the frag and super glued over the area.

Injected the aiptasia on the rock with lemon juice and super glued over it. He was deep in the rock.

Haven't had anymore.

Lol! Did you know that if you leave an Aiptasia in H2O2 long enough, it will melt like the Wicked Witch of the West. That was fun to watch. As you said, I popped the Zoa Frag off, made sure it was clean and found it a new rock in the tank. Put the rock with the Aiptasia in 100% H2O2. Jeez! It did not like that. Never realized how big a foot those things have buried down in the rock. It was still oozing out of that Little Rock After 30 minutes. Once it’s done, I’ll let that rock enjoy some nice Florida sunshine for a few weeks before I decide to use it again. The Aiptasia foot is where the bubbles are coming out of the rock. Another successful surgery. Sort of.
