I have a Black Lion, Panther Grouper, Humu Humu, and Niger Trigger. I am looking for something that will help with Aipstasia. I can't have crabs as the Triggers will love them way too much. And I am sure the Lion and Panther will try to eat them. I read that a butterfly fish will help, any suggestions on which type. Can I even I have one with my fish? They are not aggressive towards each other. The Lion and Panther only eat what will fit in their mouth, and the Triggers don't really aggrevate the other 2 as they are much bigger. Any suggestions??? We asked about something to clean the sand and the local fish store said to use our hands? Wouldn't this affect the nitrate/nitrite/ph/ammonia levels?

copper butterfly should do the trick but you may run in to a trigger issue here????

it is typical of 95% of triggers to nip pick spit sand, move rock chase fish nip at fish and try to eat anything they feel like. Crosshatch is the only trigger I can for sure say is reef safe, the blue male and female are also 95% safe as I have seen the male pick around in a reef tank. The niger is a hit and miss, but I would not trust him, he is a trigger at heart.

Oh they are not in a reef tank. Sorry for the mis-understanding. It is just the fish. We haven't gotten into the reef tanks yet still enjoying our fish.
