CREDITS: ARTICLE BY FISHMAN

Prepare stock solution

1. 1 tsp. pickling lime - food grade calcium hydroxide
2. 2 tbls. tap water.

boil water and lime in microwave for 40 sec.
keep closed plastic container in cool place.
You will need a vet syringe from a pet store that sells vaccinations

This mixture comes out of the needle very thick. You do not need to inject the Aiptasia. Just release a small amount on to the aiptasia and it will take it in. This mixture seems to stick to the anemone, but it does not stick to the other inverts. We also use this mixture on problem hair algae

I found this recipe it really works and it is cheap.I have used it several time in my tank. The pickling lime is Kalkwasser, and you do not have to inject them to kill them. When they go back in a hole shoot the mixture in the hole with them.

Fishman adds: If you feed them before the injection.They have a hard time reverting back in the hole or shrinking up.
