Aiptasia help

[Cub21rak]

So I'm having an issue with having aiptasia. I've had pepermint shrimp before that have taken care of them. But right now I have 2 triggers and I'd be afraid they would eat a shrimp. Although I may end up trying. Wonder what others have done to get rid of them. I've tried aiptasiaX which works then they come back. I was thinking of trying a fish to eat them then getting rid of the fish because I think all fish that will eat them are also not reef safe fish. Suggests? Type of fish should I try then sell once aiptasia is gone?

Matted file fish. Probably ugliest fish ever but will go to work. And some copperbands

Like jay said the file fish. Works great but soon as the aiptasia r gone take the fish out. If u have zoas.

I had aiptasia when i first started and after added just 2 berghaii i have never seen an aiptasia again.
I have seen wrasse eat them, the breeder says they don't but its all bull. So just take all the wrasse out. I use just 2 and they when to town and i gave a bunch away.

I have a matted filefish that wiped out my aiptasia problem a year ago. So far he is still doing well and hasn't touched my zoos. He eats pellets and rods food for me. I must have gotten lucky with him.

This works best on larger ones and of course a large carpeting of smaller ones would be much harder to deal with. Get a large diameter syringe and some liquid calcium. Stick those f'ers with it and pump em full of the calcium. They should die and stay dead.

Matted Filefish

I have one in each of my tanks and they ate what was there and after that have eaten what ever I feed the rest of the tank and never have bothered the Zoa's

I used this method also w/ the same results.
