Your story is un clear are the aptasia eating your filefish or are the filefish eating the aptasia? Or were the aptasia gone and now you do not want the filefish? Filefish will eat your crabs, caution on corals. So are the aptasia all gone?

OK....IDK how the 200 aptasia just disappeared.....BUT.....If I have read correctly.....the filefish will starve to death w/o the proper foods....so I would get rid of it if it is not trained to eat foods you can provide it
