Copper banded are also to be excellent with aiptasia and I've definitely seen them at the LFS's.

What you are after is a "false" double saddleback butterfly, Chaetodon ulietensis. The "true" double saddleback is C. falcula and is riskier with corals.

C. ulietensis is much less commonly imported. Unless you are very clear about which fish you want and can tell the difference yourself, you are much more likely to end up with C. falcula by mistake.

I have a jade file fish that took care of every aptasia in my 120 (and there were a lot). He now eats pellets. Not a very attractive fish though.....

yea a local fish store (aqua world) was talking to me about an aiptasia eating file fish wasnt to sure if that was one to consider??

Chad,

A filefish isn't a bad choice either, they just aren't very attractive.

Dave at Dave's aquastock has a supplier that gets them. He is waiting to hear back on a price.
