I would like to put some livestock in my tank that will eat this pest and not get eatten by current fish or eat my coral. My current fish are a niger trigger, panther grouper, yellow tang and a scooter dragonet. So a peppermint shrimp is basically out of the question and I have lots of zoanthids so a butterfly fish is also out of the question. Any other suggestions for live stock?

I had a couple of them and used "Joe's Juice". The stuff worked great. One little squirt on each of them and I never saw them again.

I used some kalwasser mixed up real strong and squirted it with an old syringe from one of my test kits. Results were instantaneous!

Thanks guys but I wanted to try putting something alive in the tank though to eat them. I think I am goign to try using the bergi nudibranchs since I have read that all they eat is aiptasia. Has anyone else used these nudibranches before?

[Fragmadness]

I have done nudi and Joes joes works so much better. Watch out for pepperment shrimp if anyone suggest they also have been know to eat zoos

Went to the LFS today. They were selling microscopic bergis for 30 bucks a pop and they only had three. I would have needed all three, and did not feel like spending 90 bucks on something I can barely see, so I took a chance with a copperbanded butterfly. They one I bought was supposedly eatting prepared foods and looked to be in good health. We'll see what happens.

The butterfly is doing an awesome job already. The fish got rid of a large number of aiptaisia, is eating brine as well, and hasnt touched any of my corals.

Congrats Hope after he is done on the aiptaisia that he doesn't move onto coral lol. Crosses fingers for you

[JackedupSOB]

Thanks I sure hope so

WoW! that great! Went right to work for you. I had a CB butterfly. Carpet ate him. Cleaned up any aptasia I had in the tank! Pretty much cleaned up all the pods I had in there too!
