I had some bad aptasia, got a aptasia eating file fish and he destroyed them in a few months. I know some people say they are reef safe with "caution," I had no issues with mine but some can pick at coral. Took him a few weeks to start eating them, but did a great job.

I’ve had one before but he picked at my seahorses. I’ll be trying some peppermint shrimp after I treat this frag.

I kept peppermint shrimp with my seahorses too and they helped clean up uneatten mysis as well. Peppermint shrimp will get big and bold and start raiding the ponies feeding troughs if you don't move them up higher where the shrimp cant get them.
