Long-nosed butterfly and aiptasia

[udb]

Has anyone had success with a long nosed butterfly eliminating aistasia?

I've never heard of them eating them before. I've had trouble getting long nosed butteflies to eat anything at all. Peppermint shrimp are good for eating rock anenomes

copperbands usually will eat apaista (sp?), they're more fragile than LN butterflies though. My LN doesn't eat apaista, only prepared foods. They are a nice and somewhat hardy addition. HTH

I wouldn't buy any butterfly just for the use of eating Aiptasia. Butterflyfish are not hardy additions and most will starve in aquariums. As Nedry already stated, Pepperment shrimp would be an ideal addition to rid the tank of Aiptasia.
