{"product_id":"franks-f-aiptasia-reef-safe-aiptasia-fix","title":"Frank's F-Aiptasia Reef Safe Aiptasia Fix","description":"\u003cp\u003eF-Aiptasia is a reef safe treatment for aiptasia, the glass anemones that hitchhike in on live rock and coral frags and then sting corals and spread across the rockwork. You apply it straight onto the pest anemone with the included syringe. Frank's Aquarium Products says it forms a shell over the anemone within about 30 minutes, trapping the caustic product inside and robbing it of the ability to release reproductive spores into the aquarium. About five days later you brush the shell away.
