Aipitasia wont die

It's so stupid in some places that you might think it's easier to ger
heroin or whatever they shoot than just the syringe. I'm diabetic, and
the looks I used to get when I had to go into a pharmacy other than my
regular one drove me nuts.

same here. I am aware it is possible to get free "drug" needles from
many non-profits in new york, but you still can't legally buy an insulin
syringe without a prescription.

I never said the laws made sense.

Use a syringe commonly found in Salifert test kits. I use no needle.
I boil a cup of tank water in the microwave, and inject a syringe-full
into the hole the aiptasia lives. I repeat this several times. Have
NEVER had to repeat this procedure more than once to get rid of
aiptasia. 100% success. Just did this a couple of days ago to some
aiptasia that came on a zoanthid rock-aiptasia no more. Of course be
careful of anything close by, although I have never killed anything
other than aiptasia. The zoanthid within 20 mm of the aiptasia was
not even harmed.

I had an aiptasia plantation going on literally hundreds and hundreds of
them. I let my 125 goto hell literally doing nothing but adding water as it
evaporated but no water changes and no fish only inverts. Algae and aiptasia
were rampant. Inland aquatics sold me 2 peppermint shrimp. They were totally
useless with that many. They then sold me a full grown racoon face butterfly
fish. He ate ALL of the aiptasia within 3 days. I now have none at all and
its stayed that way. Now why oh why is the butterfly fish not doing so
well.....

Did you read it? I didn't see any information on there that would be in any
danger of being "outdated". AFAIK, there haven't been any recent
groundbreaking discoveries on the subject.

You yourself said you let your tank go to hell, do a full battery of tests
and see what your water quality looks like --
