apstasia??? (I think I spelled that right)

I've been informed that it's a pest and I have no idea how to go about killing it.

Lemon Juice works wonders. Go buy a meat injecting syringe, cut the end off of it (this is important cause the end makes the juice come out the sides). Put about a tablespoon in the syringe and put it right up next to the offending things mouth and squirt! it might take two applications, but believe me it will die and not come back! And the best part is it wont hurt anything in your tank..

AWESOME! Thanks so much! I was just going to keep it, it's kinda cute, but then I googled it and saw what it can do to a tank and now I want the "cute little thing" DEAD

I got lucky; mine hadn't found home on rock. He was just parked on the coral floor so I was able to net him with just a little crushed coral from underneath.

Info on aiptasia and the peppermint shrimp - get the Lysmata wurdemanni species, not the L. rathbunae species.
