What is the best Aiptasia eating fish

[Just Jim]

I can't use peppermint shrimp as I have a trigger and hogfish that would pick them off. My concern with filefish and copperband are that I have a rbta and candycane coral in the tank with Aiptasia. Which one are the odds better suited?

I would go with a filefish as they are very hardy and less likely to get pummeled to death by your trigger.

I've read that they nip at sps. Is there one that's better than others?

Matted file fish.

Have you heard of the fish called aiptasia x? :ape:
But really that'll probably work or something like joe's juice, which I've never used but probably does the job too. Just make sure it doesn't touch your corals. Quickly siphon it when it's killed. Unless it's between corals like zoanthids then forget about it, it'll kill the corals too...

Or play it safe, I read a thread that someone used an underwater epoxy and jam it down or use glue. I can see that happening.

I have used aiptasiax with good results. No luck with peppermints.

 

[DavidinGA]

I have a matted filefish and sps and no problems...
