Aiptasia will live in complete darkness :angry:

Its a complete nuisance but dont be tempted to rip it out. As a defence mechanism it will spread like wildfire. Either leave it as this sometimes means the aipt wont feel teh need to spread and it can be kept under control this way. or add one of the following.

Peppermint shrimps. Aiptasia eaters. very good at eating smaller ones.

Butterfly fish fish (Copperband). These are very delicate fish howver and getting htem to feed on artificial foods is very difficult.

Boiling water. get a syringe of boiling water and squirt it right into the aipt. this usually kills it but it has been known to come back with avengance even from this.

Joes juice. a chemical that kills aips so fast you see them fall apart before your eyes.! A safe chemical that doesnt effect other corals. You need to be accurate with it though or it can return again however.
