I just added 6 peppermint shrimp 10 days ago and went from about 15-20 aptasia to 1 left (that I can see). They might be alot easier to keep than a copperband butterfly. Other option is Bergia nudis but I've never personally used them. How many aptasia do you have?

Well when I first started I had them everywhere ...... With the help of some members here I got rid of them.
I went and got me a peppermint shrimp and that sucker must have been real hungry cause there are no more sign of aphasia... But as always you have to keep a eye on it make sure it don't eat anything else lolz..

copperband destroyed mine but i could never get him to eat mysis(eventualy died). if you go the copperband route try to find one that it already eating before you buy it.

I know the leather jacket filefish eat it but they also like zoo's. It all depends how bad a problem the aptasia is.

I love My coperband not only is it a beautiful fush but eats aptasia like its candy.... Just make sure you get a healthy eating specimen.
