I'll let him provide details. I've seen a few partial aiptasias come up but think he just didn't get them good enough. The mojito anemones (not sure their real name but think Mojito is catchy) are TOAST. Fish are all good and happy.. waiting for food as usual.

Is he out for hire when he is done? We have a few of both to get rid of and don't want to tear the rock work apart to get to them.

Have had 100% success with boiling water in a syringe. Have offed 100s through the years in many tanks.
Boiling water will also destroy a Mojito

I read the boiling water trick and tried it myself but they came right back up. After a go of that messy aiptasia-x product (WHAT A MESS!), I wanted to try something natural.

The problem people have with the boiling water trick is that it works with "boiling water" but not with simply "boiled water."
Means if it cools down, will do little. No creature in our tanks can survice boiling hot temps. Start with a pint or more in a srro cup, rince hypo in the very hot water, and all at once hit your targets within seconds. Never fails, they turn to soup before your eyes. Can be done with pest anemones, zoas, mushrooms, and the like.

None of you guys use a hypodermic needle and lemon juice? It's instant death. I've used it in my tank, and they never come back from that... ever.

I've tried lemon juice. I just have trouble getting the needle into it before they retract deep into their holes in the LR.
I've got 1 pep in my tank, it no aptasia. The pep loves the stuff. spends all his time hunting for them

Is this something like PaulB's zapper?

Yes althought not as impressive looking. I had my go at it last night and I must say it's a bit fun to use. Haven't looked back at the tank this morning to see what I missed but will report back.
