Creatures that eat aiptasia

I was wondering if there is anything besides the peppermint shrimp or the copperband butterfly that eats aiptasia. I can't have the shrimp because I have a wrasse and I can't have the butterfly because I have a clam. Is there maybe a type of crab or another fish that eats them? Obviously, I want something that will survive after the aiptasia is gone.

i like to fix stuff naturally also, but this is best solved by joe's juice. just get a bottle of it and kill everyone you see and you will be done in about a week. By the way, I have had a peppermint shrimp for awhile with my wrasse, its a six line

they have aptasia eating nudibranch.... a bunch of high school kids made them at their school ( i believe it was in new London CT). google them. they cost 10 bucks, and its okay for me to tell you to buy there because they are in it for education, not SWF.com competition.

I have a wrasse and a peppermint shrimp. I think the peppermint shrimp comes out at night. I rarely see him, but my aptasia is gone. The wrasse harasses my shrimp, but I bought a large one that appears to be too big for the wrasse to actually kill. Also, some dwarf angels will eat aptasia.

Which dwarf angels? I am staying away from the nudibranch simply because aiptasia are the only things they eat. I don't want to starve anything.
