Well, my green palythoa empire has taken over the corner of my tank, and there are border skirmishes with my pavona coral, and war coral. They physically take up over a square foot of valuable real estate and was wondering what relatively safe creature I can use.
I'm trying to limit the "feedings" by whatever this creature is to my palythoa and zooanthid, which I can repopulate in the future.
Of course this creature shall not feed on my SPS or LPS.
I've considered camel shrimp, but they'll probably feed on the LPS, though I guess I can move those out.
Also considered the green file fish? but too much trouble for the worry.
What about training pepperment shrimps to eat them? My theory, put them in a separate tank, they go for aiptasia of course, but what if I was to substitute palythoas? sprinkle a little food on the paly, they eat it up, whoops, accidentally nip the paly. Get them to eat the paly with gusto, then put them in the main tank.
