Just a quick thought.. From what I gather you need to be lucky for a peppermint shrimp to actually eat aptasia. Especially if you feed the tank regularly, they don't really have the need to go out and find every last bit of food.
Now I have multiple frag zoa frags with aptasia on them. I want to remove them but using chemicals is not an option, they seem to spread fast that way. Don't want to cut them with a scalpel because the frags are new and fragile, and also quite expensive (for me at least).
So I was thinking what about putting a couple of pep shrimp in a 2 gallon bucket with just the infected frags and an air stone\light. When they get hungry they will surely hunt down the aptasia? After they are clean I can just drop everything back in the DT.
Any thoughts on this?
