Warning:

Do Not Apply Directly To Corals

Killing many Aiptasia in one treatment may adversely affect water quality – monitor Ammonia using Marine Lab Ammonia Test Kit throughout and after use.FAQs:

Q: I used a competing product, the aiptasia were killed, but they grew back. Will Anti-Aiptasia work in the same way? A: As our Anti-Aiptasia disables adult polyps rapidly, they don’t have a chance to reproduce. Use Anti-Aiptasia to target the largest aiptasia to begin with and then focus on the smallest polyps to break their cycle. There’s enough in the bottle to treat 200 aiptasia and an angled application needle to get the more awkward to reach ones.

NT Labs Anti-Aiptasia for Reef Tanks in Singapore

Aiptasia are the small glass anemones that hitchhike in on live rock and coral frags, then multiply across the rockwork and sting any neighbouring corals competing for space. NT Labs Anti-Aiptasia is a contact gel you inject directly onto each pest, and it also works on the closely related Majano anemones. It is pesticide-free, so it targets the nuisance without poisoning the wider reef system.

In Singapore, where corals and frags are frequently swapped between hobbyists at meet-ups and shop visits, Aiptasia spreads fast and is one of the most common pests we hear about. Treat new arrivals carefully and tackle outbreaks while they are still small. Apply with the pump off so the solution stays on the target, and avoid disturbing the colony, which can release spreading planulae.

Pair chemical spot-treatment with prevention by dipping new corals first. Read our aiptasia application guide and consider berghia biocontrol for heavy infestations. Browse more marine additives.
