This product works but I am not so sold on it been completely reef safe as a matter of fact am a little piss off that product work it really does kill aptasia but it also kills corals I used it yesterday and it killed my 15/20head blastos and bleach it my fungia plate and also left nice round bleach soot in my monti they should say that it should not be in contact with coral
putting the fact out on aptasia x

I had the same results, it killed mt zoas. however, it did not kill my aptasia they came back within a week. I bought a copperband butterfly from a vendor and it ate all my aptasia within three weeks
You must be squirting an excessive amount of aiptasiaX. I have had it touch many corals without any ill effects in the past. Your supposed to cut out any flow, use the syringe for a controlled direct mouth hit [which i agree can be difficult if you don't have a steady hand] if u have no flow the product simply sits their and i siphon the rest out.

Common sense would say that something that kills aiptasia is gonna harm more delicate creatures like coral.

Hey dubs if it comes into contact with another coral it will kill it. To me its a product like kalk it is safe to use it in the tank but make sure it doesnt touch the coral. I have used it and when i see any go on my corals i blow it off with a baster.

He used it with no ill effects
Jerl used it with no ill effects
Jonny used it with no ill effects
I've also used it in a buddies tank with no ill effects and his tank is loaded with corals.
What he's trying to say is common sense whether you're a newbie or not should have told you to not let any get onto prized corals no matter how safe it may be just to safeguard your prized pieces.
Don't get all pissed at people because they point out that the issue may have been caused by user error and aren't saying you that you should be reefer of the year. The best reefer on this site can also make a mistake using such products as well.(by the way, only egotistical eggheads brag about their own stuff).
