I have a 92 corner with 120+ lbs of rock and I had aptasia out the wazoo. Tried Joe's juice, boiling, kalk and nothing could do it. I bought a copperband butterfly and it was in heaven. I had probably over 50 visible stalks and the CBB erraticated it in 2 weeks. 100% gone. This is all he would eat. When the job was done, I hung a peice of rubble at the surface with Aptasia on it, and scooped him out when he went for it. IMO if you go with a copperband, you may have to take him out unless he eats other things. Mine didn't and went to the LFS 220 to do more work because I didn't want him to starve.

My system has been running for 7+ years. And now, NOW, I am seeing two small aptasias. I couldn't even believe my eyes! I haven't added any new rock for at least two years...
Does the stork bring this stuff?
Of course the aptasia is on the rock with my favorite zoas. Does the aptasia harm other corals?
And I agree with TeresaQ, Alyssia, regarding adding more horses. As long as they are CB and QT'd, it's no different than adding a new horizontal fish. I'm afraid I think folks go a bit overboard sometimes with a notion that seahorses are so frail.
