Is this apstasia

How big is the tank? "Sometimes" a recommendation like this is just not right...

Peppermint shrimp do not always eat Aiptasia. Snails can flip themselves over given time. Tap water is not all bad etc... I'm just saying...
Are you referring to my comment to John? My post in jest. You just want to try and pick my posts apart? Have fun.

I would not recommend a raccoon butterfly unless the person has a fish only tank, likes them for their beauty and not for eating anything, and has the tank size and other suitable inhabitants. But they are pretty well guaranteed to eat aiptasia.

For aiptasia I do like getting a half dozen or so of peppermints in my tank at all times and at least one of them gets the taste and keeps the aiptasia trimmed back. I have a ton of aiptasia in my sump and a few in my display. I don't stress about it or do anything other then have some peppermints in my tank. I have a matted file fish because I like their unique look and smaller size and a copperband because again I like their look and about as reef safe as you can get for a butterfly. Neither of them touch my aiptasia.

It's not really about you in general, it's just that tag that you have... I turned it down a long time ago because my theories, mind or guesses might be "off base." You better check yourself, you are wearing the badge, not me... If I'm wrong so be it... If your wrong,, lol... Are we done yet? (truth)

Why don't you just say what you want to say out right?

Being able to have the opportunity of being ROTM is something I would not have thought I would be picked for and I feel pretty honored to be picked. It does not always make me right nor will I be. I will always want to learn more about this hobby and there are so many ways to go about it. So, I don't feel like I have to "check" myself. Sorry you felt that way and decided to refuse that opportunity. I will post my opinions as I always have right or wrong.
 
Lighten up Francis.
My "Not this time" was directed to the original post lightheartedly.

I'll be back in the Lounge if anyone needs me to recommend a Raccoon Butterfly.
Geez, no wonder I'll never be reefer of the month.
