Aptasia in refugium?

[Hunter1036]

So I️ bought a 40 gallon breeder from a guy and it has a 20 gallon refugium and 20 gallon sump and I️ have TONS of aptasia and bristle worms in my refugium but also have pods and cheato with some live rock. I️ got an aptasia eating filefish a while ago and it ate all of them but about a month later and they are all back again. Should I️ just leave them or try to get rid of them again? I️ want a successful refugium and it has been working well but I️ would like to put more pods and cheato in there and would the aptasia mess with all of that? What’s your thoughts?

my sump has a lot of them all around, it doesnt really affect anything as there is nothing to sting. if they are really bothering you you could get some peppermint shrimp, another filefish or berghias

Yeah, got lots of them in my sump, refugium and frag tank (plus lots of different kinds of pest algae) - none of it ever makes it's way to the display. Too many things to eat it.
