AIptasia too big peppermintshrimp?
Hi there.
I just bought a pair of peppermint shrimps to get rid od my aiptasia. The litle ones are gone but the 2 biggest one remain, are they just to big for them or what?

They sure are. I had 3 peppermint shrimps in my tank. Got rid of all the small aiptasia but left the big ones for me! Nice little guys! ended up using Joe's Juice to get rid of the other ones.

Now whn i see a chance to get rid of them once and for all, what do you recomend?, the probem is that the aiptastia is on a oice of live rock coverd with a beautiful blue ricordia.
i tryied using kalkwatter, but that didnīt kill the aiptasia but it dameged my ricordia, i donīt want to risk that again....

I had the same problem with the larger aiptasia. What worked for me was to remove as much as I could of the larger aiptasia then the peppermint shrimp had no problem finishing it off. HTH

I had 2 large ones. body about the size of a quarter. I took about 5cc of b-ionic part 2 and stuck it right in the mouth and injected. It retracted into the rocks. Then I took a 60cc syringe and sucked the aiptaisa out of the rock. Squirted it into my front yard. I also added 5 peppermint shrimp as the second aipaitsia was in a hard to reach area. 3 days later it was gone. Haven't seen one since.
Not sure how big is "big", but those were pretty large.
