Vinegar and Aptasia

Will a partial water change be enough? All I have to do is fix the ph but it
was too high to begin with. I tested today and it is lower but still high
according to the chart on the test kit. It sits right now at 8.4 it WAS at
8.8 before the vinegar got added.

Water changes typically do level out water parameters. It won't hurt to do an
extra water change, or several. Always match salinity and temperature first.

I talked to my LFS store today and she thought that a .4 drop in ph wouldn't
be even close enough of a change to kill the damsel that quickly so it must
have been already sick, which I did think it was before all of this even
started.

She also said that 8 wasn't too high for a ph level but according to my kit
it is. So I am going to do a partial and then just keep checking I guess.
Then next week add the peppermint to hekp control the aptasia. This is sort
of OT but my Coral banded shrimp has recently started trying to catch fish
(the last 3 days) will the coral band try and kill the peppermint?
