Aiptasia (Glass Anemone) Removal

I discovered this weekend that I had the beginnings of an Aiptasia infestation in my 29 gallon biocube. After spending a little time on Google I selected a very quick and effective method for eradicating this pest from my aquarium. This method is informally known as “Death by Fire!”

Here are some clips courtesy of ReelzChannel.com
