Aiptasia can be very harmful to seahorses.

Yeah, I'm a little worried about that, but there's no (foolproof) way to
completely remove it in a reef tank.

Aiptasia definately eat fry.

Right, but I'm not raising babies, so I wasn't concerned about this.

I would probably recommend using the Joe's
Juice despite the stress of having to catch it.

Turns out that, by the next morning, the aiptasia was gone. Perhaps the
seahorse scraped it off against a rock or something. More likely, the
aiptasia itself made a mistake, and decided it wasn't on a very good base.
I think they detach and reattach on a fairly regular basis (if not happy in
their location), so it was probably a natural thing.
