YOu can get the same results with lemon juice, or if your paranoid
about injecting the stalk with lemon juice (all it takes is a tiny
drop) so ph etc is not affected. Use a syringe of kalkwasser, and just
squirt the aipstasia with it, no need to inject....I have used lemon
juice with excellent results. Unless you have a true peppermint shrimp
its not likely that the shrimp will eat it. Peppermints (wunderman or
something like that) will eat the aip, if they are hungry, but if
suitable feed is found it is unlikely it will touch it. Copperbanded
butterflys eat it but then yu have another added fish to the bio load
to contend with....
Personally I like aip, and have a 0 gal tanbk setup with nothing but
all the undesireable types normally removed from an aquarium and
flushed or destroyed. Its amaziing and is just as interesting to look
at as a fully stocked reef tank is.......Aip that I have is beautiful,
easy to keep, and its also in various colors. I especially like the
extremely brilliant florescent yellow / green aip....Its just as
pretty as any high end anenome you r going to buy. And to tell the
truth, having it propagate and grow rampantly in this tank has not
been any kind of problem.........
JOes juice is high priced IMHO, but it works, but so does lemon juice,
or kalkwasser which is a lot cheaper.

Theres a product I use called Joe's Juice which I have used and it does
work ! Its also supposed to be reef safe and I've never had any trouble
with it. You don't need to inject, you just dribble the stuff over it to
eat and they just dissapear. Great stuff.

I squirted them with very hot water. I tried several other options as
well. You must be very careful with this method, as any other
critters close to the point of application will be killed, as well as
that section of live rock.
