Aptasia..... Grrrrrr!

[Emma01]

Anyone know how to eradicate aptasia all together?!
I’ve had the issue for what feels like forever! (Approx 6 months) Atm I’m using Aptasia-X and they just seem to pop up everywhere and very quickly :mad: I’m (without a doubt ) having to kill about 3-4 a week that just seem to appear :mad:
Thanks.

Peppermint shrimp or berghia nudibranches

Or for a large tank a copperband butterfly

Peppermint shrimp in my opinion are the easiest and safest solution to the problem but I've found that not all will do the job. I've had 2 shrimp eradicate 50+ aptasia in a QT tank, but others that won't touch them.

Forgot to mention I tried peppermint shrimp...... didn’t go down to well with my cleaner shrimp ;Blackeye
Will the nudibranch starve unless there’s a constant supply on aptasia?
Thanks

Yes but you could pass them on to another reefer after the aptasia are eradicated
