i'd probably go for a bunch of berghia nudis in this situation.

A racoon butterfly will eat all of the aiptasia, but beware of the other coral inside of your tank.

I agree!!! It's my opinion as well.

I do have an auriga butterfly that shreds aiptasia. he also picks at sps and the ocaional acan polyp. To keep an aiptaisa free tank this is worth it to me.
Yesterday I took a rock from my sump with aiptasia on it and put it in the tank to see what the auriga would do. he found it right away and ate the aiptasia immedialty

You need a large tank for butterflys, please don't go out and get one if you have a smaller tank.
