Aptasia in my nano. Aptasia X is not working. Anything else I can try? The harder I try to remove the more it seems to grow. I will hit each one with Aptasia X and a day or two I get a bigger colony somewhere else in my tank.

Agree with this. We have one in main tank and one in 32g biocube. Both were infested and now 0.aiptasia eating file fish - hit and miss though a bit like the ole peppermint shrimp solution - my one didn't hit the big ones but will happily chow down on new ones before they get to any size.
the other one (diff tank) clearly isn't aware they're edible - aiptasia X and patience!
It’s a reef tank so any chance of them developing a taste for my coral?Agree with this. We have one in main tank and one in 32g biocube. Both were infested and now 0.
My file fish doesn't touch my coral at all and cleared a bad outbreak in 2 weeks. Keeping him just in case...lol. It's frozen mysis and pelletsIt’s a reef tank so any chance of them developing a taste for my coral?
Real peppermint shrimp are touch and go.+1 for a true Aptasia eating Peppermint shrimp (Lysmata wurdemanni). Some look-alike species don't touch Aptasia at all. I am lucky to have a true one in my 20-gallon tank that is free from Aptasia now.
