FuEl Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Flood your tank with 10-20 peppermint shrimp. Confirm they will tackle your aiptasia. The bigger the numbers the more effective.

I would say not advisable as they are difficult fishes to keep and often reject prepared food and would eventually die of hunger if not released back to the ocean (since this species can be found commonly in our waters). It is a beautiful fish but personally, sad to see this fish being caught and sold in our LFS. A few peppermint shrimps or Joe Juice may be better options IMO.
