aptasia problems

[chris1404]

Does anyone know a good way to get rid of aptasia's. Tey are taking over my tank. I've tried stop aptasia, joe juice, lemon juice,and a copper band to get rid of them and I can usually kill off some of them then they just come right back even stronger. I heard there was type of nudibranch that eats them but I don't know what they are called or where to get one. please help they are starting to sting and kill all of my other corals.

Berghia nudi's, thinking about ordering some but don't want my Trigger to chow on them. He has already eaten the peppermint shrimp that I tried.

man... read a little before posting. he has a copperband.

try them all at once. MATURE peppermints will eat aiptasia, and they don't survive very well compared to other shrimp IME.

Im about to get some berghia's for my fuge, refuse to put a copperband into a 40 and all peppermints have died there.
