I have several very large aiptasia in my 80g and I feel like I have tried everything. I have tried berghia but I have wrasses so they just become a snack. I have peppermint shrimp and they don't eat them. I have kuekenthali shrimp and they have not touched them. My question to all is if I get a Copperband Butterfly how big of an aiptasia will it eat. When I say big I mean about 2 inches across when open. Will it eat it? I know they are tough as I had one in the past that my ******* tang killed. I will rehome the tang first......
 
@Lasse can hopefully help out, ive personally never had a copperband in a tank with any aptasia and its been a good while since ive owned one so i couldn't really tell you if it would eat it or not
 
I have the exact same problem, I just put an Australian Stripey in the tank, fingers crossed it does the job. Once it’s been in there a couple days I’ll post an update for you.
