These pests spread quickly and sting nearby corals and fish. Cutting or disturbing them often makes them retract and release planula larvae, which can turn one anemone into a tank-wide outbreak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe formula is meant to mimic a food source so the anemone expands and swallows it instead of pulling in. Once ingested, the adhesive seals the oral disc, trapping spores, and the anemone collapses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTreats the pest and spores:\u003c\/strong\u003e Collapses the anemone and aims to destroy planula inside it at the same time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLess retraction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Food-mimic mix encourages the oral disc to stay open rather than shrinking away.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStays put:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thick adhesive forms a glob in saltwater so it is less likely to drift onto nearby coral polyps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater chemistry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leftover gel that misses the anemone breaks down and is not intended to shift tank parameters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKit included:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 ml syringe plus straight and angled lock-on tips for crevices in rock.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWater and system compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Marine and reef aquariums only.
