Glass Anemone

I was curious how to effectively eliminate these pests? I have peppermint shrimps, but they aren't eating quick enough and I read about injecting the anemone with kalkwasser solution? Any ideas?

I used home made "Joe's Juice" on mine. Joe's is basically saturated kalkwasser with food. I think the food gets the anemone to draw the solution in.

I used an insulin syringe and directly injected them. That was about 5 months ago and I haven't seen a single one since. My peppermint shrimp didn't touch them.

I would direct feed them with brine shrimp. Once they were stuffed, I would take some water from the tank and pop it into the microwave for about 2 min, so that it's boiling. Then stab them with the syringe full of boiling water.

it worked well for me, and cheap too....

I injected them with some straight kalk mix, it seems to be working great. I will see how everything goes and retreat if needed. Thanks for the input.

I had a racoon butterfly fish that liked to eat them.
