How long will aptasia live out of water - is it foolproof or do those little guys hang on.

I used some Seachem Reef Complete in a syringe. One shot killed them. Any kind of calcium like substance will nuke them. A kalk paste in a syringe will do it too. I did find a couple more that I have let go. They're actually interesting to watch. If they spread I can always nuke them.

If your to the point of drying out the rock, i recommend soaking the rocks in kalk water then 2 weeks in the sun. Will kill everything.
