Red Sea Aiptasia X 60ml

Red Sea Aiptasia X 60ml

Red Sea Aiptasia X 60ml is a reef-safe Aiptasia treatment for removing unwanted Aiptasia anemones from marine and reef aquariums. It is a thick, adhesive mixture that you inject close to the anemone, and it comes with a syringe and two applicator tips. It suits reef keepers who need to deal with Aiptasia, including anemones growing inside coral colonies.

Key Benefits

• Unique, thick adhesive material that forms globules on contact with aquarium water
• The Aiptasia does not retract during treatment, because the material encourages it to ingest the product rather than withdraw
• Within minutes of ingesting it, the anemone implodes, which removes both the anemone and its planulas
• The globules do not affect the sessile polyps of corals, so Aiptasia growing inside coral colonies can be treated safely
• Does not affect water chemistry
• Any excess material decomposes over time without harming the reef
• Straight and angled applicator tips help you reach even the most inaccessible anemones

How to Use

• Use the syringe from the applicator set with either the straight or the angled lock-on tip, whichever gives better access to the anemone.
• Inject the material near the oral disk of the Aiptasia.
• On contact with the aquarium water the material globulates. This stimulates the anemone to ingest it without withdrawing.
• Once the anemone has ingested the material, it implodes within minutes.
• Any material the Aiptasia does not ingest is harmless to sessile invertebrates and will decay over time.

Dosage

The full 60 ml of material is sufficient to treat approximately 100 Aiptasia anemones, so each kit provides around 100 treatments.

Suitable For

• Reef and marine aquariums affected by Aiptasia anemones
• Aiptasia that has grown inside coral colonies
• Hobbyists who want a targeted, spot-treatment method that does not change water chemistry

Compatibility

The globules do not affect the sessile polyps of corals, and any material not ingested by the Aiptasia is harmless to sessile invertebrates. Excess material breaks down over time without adverse consequences for the reef.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Aiptasia X harm my corals?
The globules do not affect the sessile polyps of corals, so the product can be used to treat Aiptasia that has grown inside coral colonies.

How many Aiptasia can I treat with one kit?
The 60 ml of material is sufficient to treat approximately 100 Aiptasia anemones.

Where do I apply it?
Inject it near the oral disk of the anemone. It globulates on contact with the aquarium water and the anemone ingests it without withdrawing.

What happens to material the Aiptasia doesn't ingest?
Excess material is harmless to sessile invertebrates and decomposes over time without causing harm to the reef.

Does it change my water chemistry?
No. Aiptasia X does not affect water chemistry.

What is the difference between the straight and angled tips?
Both lock onto the syringe. The straight tip suits easy-to-reach anemones, while the angled tip helps you treat anemones in hard-to-reach spots.
