Is that Aiptasia or yellow polyps?I don't have any soft corals. Just clams, SPS and anemones. My anemones should be fine with their clowns. Right now, Petco in Corpus has a lot of file fish. Getting fishes here is not easy. I just have to make do what what I see. My aiptasia problem is second to none. For too long I have neglected the tank
For Aptasia- You cant beat a Kleini Butterfly BUT must be the bluehead- NOT the yellow version. The yellow will go after coral too but bluehead as pictured will eat aptasia like candy, then eat all dry and frozen food offered, colorful, friendly and stays small. I will note that a couple of persons who got the blue had their kleini nip zoa. if so- easy sell, or place in sump as aptasia have likely made it down there already
Hi, do you find it reef safe, I have read no. Thanks in advance.For Aptasia- You cant beat a Kleini Butterfly BUT must be the bluehead- NOT the yellow version.

I agree with the Klein’s butterfly. They make short work of aiptasia !! I have mine in a mixed reef…so far it hasn’t eaten anything else except for nuisance purple clove polyps which I have been trying to get rid of for 7 years ! I couldn’t be happier !!
Experience as I have two. The one in the dump did pick at zoa but has my sump also free of aptasia
and the pour petrol and set the rocks on fire for 2 hours..

Those are such pretty fish. I've only tried once, and the thing must have starved to death.I got a pair of CBB that are a pair of Aiptasia killing machine ( in my QT system). I will have to get my PBT and Purple tangs out of the tank until the CBB established before return them to the tank.
No luck. I love my CBB pair, however. Now that I have the CBB, no more Klein
They are too tasty and fish, especially wrasse and amphipods have nudibranch dinners until they are all gone.
Those guys are so delicate and tasty. Maybe in a controlled low flow environment.
