Does this aptacia juice only kill aptacia or other organism as well?
I have heard lfs recomend it , has any one used joes juice and know its affects to a reef tank?

I've had Joe's Juice affect all corals. That's why you're suppose to turn off your powerheads when you dose.

actually softies are affected more by it.
if you think about it, aiptasia anemone has more in common with soft corals than sps. just according to my experience. |

It will kill whatever eats it. The benefit of Joe's Juice is that you can use very little of it and target feed the anemones. They will gladly eat it, unlike Kalk solution, which they will avoid. If you carefully feed the anemone the JJ, it will die and hopefully nothing else will come into contact with it.
Works on mojano anemones great, too! |

If Joes juice is not for me, ... other alternatives.....what else does a peppermint shrimp eat other that aptasia? do they eat co pods or other beneficial organisms?

no you're good with peppermint. the only thing you have to watch out for is that they look a lot like camel shrimps, which could pick on corals.
watch for the humps on their back which = camel. |

would a LFS really sell you a camel shrimp as a Peppermint shrimp? Or are they so closely alike that sometimes the LFS dont catch it? i havent heard of camel shrimp?

I have used joes juice and its great for a couple of weeks, but the freaken aptasia keep coming, and it's not true that whatever eats the stuff dies, I have a emerald crab that loves pickled anemone, he waits til they are all closed up and tears em up, but the PH and all flow should be turned off.
