Joel, do you remember when I asked everyone's advice on peppermint shrimp for aiptasia? I got the general concensus that they could cause damage to lps, which I do believe is possible. (I had already gotten the shrimp before I asked) But am I correct that you don't keep lps corals? I had a torch that would open for the first hour or two each day bc it was surrounded by aiptasia. Well today, I noticed the torch was wide open. I took a closer look and the aiptasia was gone. Not ALL of it, but the ones on the shrimp's cave side was gone. I may remove the shrimp and fight it with berghia next time, but for now, the shrimp is welcome
Yes trigger loves shrimp.

Okay John check this out.
So this rock was completely covered.

I caked paste onto it, let it sit dry for 20 minutes or so then placed it in a bucket of saltwater.
You can see the sponge made it fine, as did the small amount of coraline it had on it .
I only had the paste on for about an hour
Let's see if those bulletproof aips make it through or not.
This is all experimental.

Oh wow! Joel, you HAVE to let me know how this goes! My aiptasia went after what is essentially the corner stone of my aquascape, so I can't remove the rock. I'm so happy to see all of the good stuff made it!
