 Not just classification, but how to DESTROY IT! I know what it is... but I want to see how others have dealt with getting rid of it.  |

| I take a syringe, make a kalk paste and inject it into the anemone. And then remove from my tank.  |

| Ugh I tried everything and they came back multiplied. The only thing that worked was 6 cleaner shrimp and 10 hermit crabs. |

| Re: Not just classification, but how to DESTROY IT! I tried the boiling water technique. It did not work for me. |

| Re: Not just classification, but how to DESTROY IT! Have used boiling water, lemon juice, and kalwasser. They all worked if injected into the crown. Peppermint shrimp are a lot easier to use. Also, copper-banded butterfly fish - only problem is after the anemones are gone, it's really hard to keep the butterfly fish alive. (I don't sacrifice any marine creature, but have a friend who will buy a butterfly every time and they don't survive.) |

| Re: Not just classification, but how to DESTROY IT! LFS told me to use Purple-Up injected directly inside this Devil's Plague using a syringe. Sometimes can be tricky because the needle isn't where you think it is during injection... causing a repeat of the dosage. |

| Re: Not just classification, but how to DESTROY IT! isn't it odd how some things in your tank, particularly those "undesirables", are so difficult to kill off? damn natural selection...

| Re: Not just classification, but how to DESTROY IT! I tried both concentrated Lemon Juice (per Dr. Fosters and Smith website) and Purple-Up using a syringe... Lemon Juice only took 1 application as opposed to the Purple-Up which took 3-4. |
