Elimi-Aiptas contains a slightly alkaline solution that can be applied or injected directly onto Aiptasia. Aiptasia then begins to decompose and can be quickly eliminated.

Tropic Marin Elimi-Aiptas - Recommended use

First, turn off the flow pumps. Then draw up Elimi-Aiptas using the syringe provided. Now inject a small fraction of the syringe contents into the selected aiptasia. They will now begin to decompose. Wait a few minutes before turning the flow back on or sucking out the residue.

Elimi-Aiptas can damage corals on contact, so be careful when handling it. Avoid removing too many Aiptasia at once (no more than 5 per 100 liters).

Rinse the injection needle with clean water after treatment. This way you can reuse it without any problem.

What else can I do to prevent an aiptasia infestation?

There are various precautionary measures you can take to reduce the risk of an aiptasia infestation from the outset. Firstly, examine each newly acquired stone and coral offshoot carefully. If, for example, an aiptasia is only sitting on the edge of the offshoot stone, you can simply snip the part off with pliers. Aiptasia also reproduce particularly well if a lot of powdered food is added to the aquarium. If you have an aiptasia problem, switch to soluble or direct feeding.
