No more aiptasia By Earl on 9/13/12
Earl would recommend this product to a friend
I got this because I had a small aiptasia problem. I tried a couple of peppermint shrimp, they didn't touch it and I had one red legged hermit crab that would eat it sometimes, but it just came back. I used this and the aiotasia just shrank up and disappeared. I accidently got some on a coral and I thought I had killed it, but it didn't seem to affect it at all.

Bye bye aiptasia! By BRIAN on 8/30/12

I had a good sized aiptasia growing from underneath a new frag I put into my reef. One simple injection of Aiptasia X into its mouth and it was gone in seconds, never to return. The paste dissolves over 24 hours or less and causes no harm to the rest of the reef. Great product.

Works just as it says it does. Need to stay on top of it because these things are really prolific.

Effective but not a permanant solution By Louis on 8/11/12

I noticed some Aptasia popping up in my nano about 3 months ago. Some getting rather large. This product works fantastically but they always seem to come back.
I have button polyps, green star polyps, xenia, Duncan, and mushrooms in my nano and in the past 3 months none of these coral have been affected by the Aptasia-X. For me it has truly been ref safe as advertised.

it works! By scott on 7/14/12

I had purchased some live rock from a fellow reefer. Well the rock came loaded with aiptasia which I had not seen prior to purchasing it. I wanted a quicka and effective method to kill this pest. Aiptasia-X works pretty well. You just have to make sure and get it into the mouth very slowly so it does not retract. It can also be tricky depending on where the pest is located on the rock as my tank does not have a large opening at the top. All in all great product.

great as long as you read the directions By Robert on 5/21/12
Robert would recommend this product to a friend
If you follow the directions, advance slowly towards the aiptasia while gently dispensing the product the tentacles will wrap around the needle and allow you to gently cover the entire oral disk. It will die and not release any planulae.
If you just try to blast the anemones they will retract and release their planulae causing an outbreak of little ones.
There is a LOT of solution in the bottle so if you are careful not to contaminate the bottle with salt water and replace what you don't use it will last for hundreds of satisfying cnidarian deaths! I have killed large and small aiptasia and after several weeks I have not found any babies growing anywhere.

i had a major aiptasia problem with a particular rock. I bought this product and eliminated my problem in 2 days. It did not seem to affect my corals. If you need to kill aiptasia, this works. Follow directions.

Best Product for the Problem By Ricky on 5/6/12
Ricky would recommend this product to a friend
This is one of the few 'effective' commercially available remedies for nuisance anemones. Of course prevention is desirable and this won't single-handily eliminate your problem but I would consider it a staple in pest control. BRS hands-down has THE BEST price on this product - yes it is pricey - buy way more so elsewhere.

that was fun By Michael on 2/1/12
Michael would recommend this product to a friend
Hadn't been having luck with other forms of Aiptasia control, but this seems to do the trick. I know I didn't get all of them, but it was very satisfying watching them melt away. Hopefully the peppermints will be able to take care of things now that the cavalry has arrived.
