Aptasia control in an aggresive tank

[cubfan]

I've got a few, maybe 10, aptasia anenomes in my 150 aggressive. It houses 2 Volitans. I would like to get rid of the anenomes without chemicals if possible. Don't think peppermint shrimp would work. Of course, the lions are begging me to put some in!! Any critters out there that the lions won't eat, or should I just cut to the chase and inject 'em with some kalk.

a copperbadn would do teh job adn would be a nice addition to your tank but they can be hard to get to eat.

yea i second that a Copperband butterfly will eat the aiptasia.But if youre looking for something else I would suggest a few berghia slugs.They will destroy all the aiptasia in your tank.The down side is that when there aren't any more aiptasia they will die.

I really like Joe's Juice as far as aptasia is concerned, however, if you are looking to do it naturally, get a copperband butterfly, some brine shrimp, and some Zoe and/or Selcon to start him off eating some good and nutritious.

I'm not a big butterfly fan, so I'll probably just inject em with Joe's. The two lions still think a few juicy peppermint shrimp are the real ticket!! They'll never learn

I had a few large aptasia in my aggresive tank. They vanished 1 week after the dog face puffer took up residence in the tank.
Neat fish - gets along with the other fish in the tank without any problems.
