I have aiptasia that iv been dealing with dosing F aitpasia but it's getting harder, on a 6 foot tank. Is there any other way here have corals dont want to risk getting peppermint for LPS. I ordered live rock when i started this tank from tampa bay in the fuge, and it seems they are filled with aiptasia. Does it make sense to add 2-3 berghia there? i have a big emerald male crab there would it eat it? and i have a red line wrasse in the display would that eat my berghia?

The Wrasse probably will eat the bhergias, also probably a bit more than 3, and no. Emerald crabs won't eat it

I’ve had good luck with peppermint shrimp. I put 5 in my 65gal. They ate all mine in a matter of days. They are cheap and a great solution. I have heard some people say they didn’t work for them so I’m not sure if it’s a crapshoot or not but I can tell you they worked for me. Also, filefish will eat at Tasia. The problem is they are a pest that are going to exist in your tank.whatever you do to get rid of them, they will come back so it’s more of keeping a crew around to eat them as they pop up if they bother you. I have just learned to live with them and they don’t really bother anything.
 

Good trouble: Have mushrooms ever become pests in your aquarium?
