Having a difficult outbreak in my tank. I've tried Joe's juice, aiptasia x and peppermint shrimp. The shrimp were working but got slowly picked off by my flame hawk. Any other suggestions for control?

Absolutely none of those has ever worked for me. Even with Joe's juice, Aiptasia X and KALK paste it it manages to kill the Aiptasia for some reason tons more will pop up over the next few weeks. I honestly think when the Aiptasia feels threatened it releases spores because the only time I ever get a large amount all of a sudden, it was shortly after trying to kill them.

I am in the process of trying an Aiptasia Eating Filefish (he is currently in QT). Its $26 and they love to eat Aiptasia. From what I have read, they work wonders and will also eat prepared foods after it cleans your tank.

I'm trying nudibranches. I have noticed some missing. It's a slow process though.
