Looking for Aiptasia eatting peppermint shrimp

[Cherub]

I tried the nudibranches but only got 4 of the tiny buggers. Well I have seen 0 impact and would probably need to spend a small fortune in these to maybe see a difference so I will resort to the proven method. If anyone has some that actually eat aiptasia or know of a shop that has the right species please let me know.

I bought some at Elite and that was 5 weeks ago and I do think that they are working, I put 2 in a 66 gallon tank. And they are pretty entertaining.

I got the aptasia eating peppermints at Elite Reef. They did a great job too!

We always have them in at elite, but some times they just don't work. They are the luck of the draw, but when you get lucky, they work wonders!

Nice I need to get to Elite then. I've been rather reclusive lately. I will stop in this week. Thanks for the replies all

I have had great sucess with my Copper banded. Looked like I was breeding the darn things, now there are very few left

I had good luck with a pair I bought this weekend from Liquid Kingdom. My aptasia problem was very minimal but the ones that were annoying me yesterday were gone today, so I think it was successful. Which is good because I was going to have to drag out my tiny frogspawn and subject it to a good scrubbing. They were like little surgeons and cut it out without the damage I was likely going to do.

it didn't mess with the corals? i was considering this method also but hear they nip

So far no nipping, but with the amount of aptasia i had maybe it was overwhelmed and didnt notice the coral lol
