You should be able to get syringes at any pharmacy - they're used by
diabetics to inject insulin.

There is no prescription required, so don't let some anal pharmacist try
to bull**** you. You're just buying a syringe, not heroin. Bag of 10
should be less than $3.

Get the smallest gauge you can. BD Ultra-Fine II 30 gauge / short needle
(5/16th") should work fine for what you are doing.

Cheers.

Thanks for all your replies and good advice.

Since I am in a very rural area and couldn't locate a needle source ( I
guess they are illegal here unless you're an addict ) I took the
advice of a
couple of reef books that mentioned a shrimp cure. It just so happens
they
were on sale cheap too ( under $5 ).
I have decided to purchase two peppermint shrimp from liveaquaria.com
along
with a lettuce nudibranch to munch on my small amount of hair algae.

I will let you know how this works. I hope they don't eat my 6'' tube
anemone.

Ok, so it first started with one Aipitasia. I thought I killed it with
strong Kalk because it melted away into nothing. Then it came back a few
days later. In the same spot. Now I have three in the reef tank. I have
applied pure kalk powder to all three via a wet Q-tip and they melt into
nothingness only to reappear in a few days. I can't locate a needle


syringe

to inject them. I even tried sticking them with a thin copper wire (
read
this solution on a news group ) and that was almost useless. I tried to


find

some Berghia Nudibranchs ( they eat Aipitasia ) on-line, but couldn't
find
any source that has them in stock. I guess I should try peppermint


shrimps.

Anyone have a proven answer to get rid of these pests? Does injecting


work?

If so, where do you get the needle? Will peppermint shrimps work? Help?
