Maybe~lobos, symphyllia, cynarinia, scolys, big fleshy LPS, but.... acan lords ~almost~ every time.
Dunno what it is about lordhowensis, but they are hands down the single most eaten coral by anything that is supposed to eat aiptasia. (except for berghia nudibranch), Also many other fish eat them, tangs, angels, rabbitfish, and who knows what others....acans are just tasty!!!

I have the bristle tail file fish and he ate and killed a monster out break I had about 9 months ago. Haven't seen another aptasia since, nor have I seen him nip at any lps,sps or softies I have. He eats mysis and nori and has been a great tank mate. I got mine from Keys.

I have had a few of them and always took them back to the LFS when the aptasias were gone. They all nipped at my lps. Trac brain Duncan coral acans heliofungia plate pearl coral bubble coral caulastrea etc. They do a fantastic job on aptasias however.
