Filefish?

[Bry17nyc]

I found about 3 or 4 aptasia anems in the tank

I know there is an aptasia eating filefish but i cant find one anywhere
Is there anyone that is selling one...what would they eat after those are gone ?

I heard aswell that peppermint shrimps eat them ?true or false?

Idk what to do ...

I got an Aptaisia eating filefish from Aquarium Village in Westbury. He doesn't eat any Aptaisia that I know of, but he doesn't nip my corals, either. I also tried peppermint shrimp without success. Now I have a Majano Wand and that works great on the ones I can reach. Plus it's fun to use!

Peppermints are hit and miss. I've used Joe's Juice - works great.

i've tried aptasia-x, they came back eventually.

peppermint shrimp did nothing for me.

i thought the filefish ate them all but after i gave the filefish away, they came back.

if they're in an area you can reach, majano wand worked really well. none had come back....knock on wood.

Peppermint shrimp worked great for me but then ate my clam. Sigh.
