I wanna get rid of these bad. I know there is a zapper out there BUT it's $100 and i need to do it on the cheap. I have a needle and syringe. What do I put in it? Lemon Juice? Vinegar? Where do I inject them? I need the best proven way except for the zapper.

regular white vinegar from the grocery store (like $0.89 per quart). Start to inject near the mouth so that it gets a "taste," then inject straight into the mouth with vigor (try to do it so that the anemone doesn't shrink back into its hole when you do this. For good measure, inject more vinegar into its foot. Anything that isn't vaporized by that, supplement control with a natural predator (peppermint shrimp, CBB, filefish, etc)
Or throw it all out then and buy new rocks. Don't think for one second that if you don't see them they are completely gone. If you decide to go the Copper Band route you will have to keep that fish in there forever. Read old threads on the topic you'll see what myself and Rookie07 is saying.

Are these nudibranchs a different species from the Zoanthid eating nudibranchs?
Berghia nudibranchs are not the same species as those that eat Zooanthid corals. Berghia eat only Aiptasia. Berghia are not a typical nudibranch hitchhiker either.

+1 nudis are specialized feeders, many arent suitable for the hobby because they require a specific type of food. Berghias are aiptasia killers
