Ok so I’ve looked online and I’ve seen ablsolutelynnothjfnabout this issue at all. I currently have aiptasia on the bio balls in my filter. I will make sure to include a picture. There’s barely any in my actual tank because the peppermint shrimp have taken care of them. How would you guys suggest removing them. I’ve tried removing the balls they were on and using a new holding bag but they kept returning.

Yep= They flowed right into there. Good opportunity to remove and scrape off into toilet or inject them via syringe with lemon juice.

Hm. I actually wonder then if it's better off to leave them there. They can help soak up nutrients, and the important thing is they can form a population in the filter which can always release more progeny into display tank, allowing you to feed your peppermint shrimp. :D
