| So I bought some more LR and noticed today that I have some hitchhikers. I think they are the anemones that that spread like wildfire. What is the best way to kill them. Thanks |

| Thanks, so what is Joes Juice? Do you make it your self or is it a solution you buy? Or would straight vinegar through a needle do the trick? Thanks |

| Update: I have been injecting the little buggers with distilled white vinegar. It seems to be working just fine. I wish there was a faster way I have tons of these guys. I thought they were like a furry mushroom at first so I let them grow. oops. Thanks for all of your help guys. |
