    I am unsuccessfully trying to control my Aptasia problem.  Has anyone ever used a Mojano Wand or have any insight on its affectiveness?  I've added peppermint shrimps but they are very adept at hiding and are not really putting a large dent in the population.  I thought my serpent star had an expensive meal but one day I spotted the first one on top of a Hydor, so I decided to add another one and have not seen either since.  I've thought about using Aptasia-X but don't know if it would be better than Kalk-paste.  Just looking for others experiences in controlling these pest.

    I take a little tank water in a mug, bring it to a boil in my microwave. I then use a syringe and squirt any aiptasia I might have with the hot water. The aiptasia will melt away and not come back. Be careful of any coral. You could use a rubber spatula or something to block the water if you have a coral right next to the aiptasia. Once in a great while I will get an aiptasia. I use the hot water method, it works great and it is free!
