My copperband did all the work.

Now my tank is almost free from aiptasia.

Skimmer : Bubble Magus NAC6 --> Bubble Magus Curve 7

Today check most of the rocks surface where previously saw aiptasia now is no longer there...

Got a smaller one in my sump tank just to help out clearing any in the sump tank as bought 2 at one go...and can't seems to be living harmony in the display tank.

No regret buying them to control aiptasia and don't see any damage done on my corals.

Just like to check, do they like to walk all over zoas and stay on them like cleaner shrimps? Mine cleaner shrimps had been causing all my zoas to be constantly closed before they passed on due to a chiller death previously.
