Apitisia?

Try a peppermint shrimp, worked for me and I had tons. I actually wanted them because I don't have a reef and I thought they looked cool. My peppermint shrimp cleaned up three or four dozen, all sizes, in less than two weeks. Ask yourself, do I really want to be injecting hot water or "juice" into my tank when I can add a ten dollar shrimp?
Make sure it is a peppermint because I heard camel shrimp look similar and won't eat aiptasia. And peppermints are tough and should be able to elude a CBS, if not it's only ten dollars. I saw a picture on here the other day of a dimond goby with a peppermint shrimp hanging out of his mouth so I guess they taste good!

well some people have luck with their peppermint shrimp devouring the aiptasias and some people's peppermint shrimp turn their noses up at aiptasias.....but lemon juice works beautifully and cheaper than joe's juice or kalkwasser or whatever other product is out there....but its weird, makes you feel like you are giving lethal injections to the poor little aiptasias.....
