Cursed Aiptasia!
I just started a new 3.5G, and come to find several aiptasia on my rocks! They've managed to infiltrate my 6.5G as well! Are there any effective household products/aquarium additives that I can inject them with? I have veterinary syringes and needles that I can stick them with. I have some Kent Superbuffer dKH that I could try, but is it worth it?
THESE CURSED BEASTS WILL NOT TRIUMPH OVER ME! Please give me some ideas!

I have injected them with vinigar, so so results. I've mixed up kalk and shot them, worked better. The kalk paste is tougher, I used my wife's diabetic syringes and kalk paste kinda clogs them.
Then I found Joe's Juice. Just squirt it on the mouth of the aiptasia and let the things eat it. That has worked the best for me.

I seem to remember trying freshwater injections when I worked at an LFS a long time ago. But I don't remember if it worked or not.

i have 100% cured my aptasia, at least i haven't found any in the last 2 months. Buy a liquid medicine dispenser for babies (only a couple dollars). the opening is just big enough to squirt super concentrated kalk and small enough if doesn't leak out. 100% death rate with the concentrated kalk.

Yeah, the KALK should be about the consistency of paste. Not a 100% effective but pretty good.

I've also found Joe's Juice to be quite effective.
