cut them 1/2 way down stalk /head in half ,before lights out, even the lil peps will eat them fast...;):)
I may have to give this method a try.
I have 1 pep in my 20g. I only have 1 decent sized aiptasia in there, but that's it.

There's a lot of reports of the coral band shrimp being murderous monsters. I wouldn't believe it if I didn't experience such an aggressive shrimp. They will rip things apart as they see fit. I guess that can go for any shrimp/crab things with jaws and claws.
Everything we get, we need a plan if things go south.
Which is why I’ll never have arrow crabs or coral banded shrimp in any of my systems.

What ninja skills do you have? I come near them and they shrivel up to hide from me.... How are you cutting them at all?
Just build your own PC, cutting aips will feel like a walk in the park during a warm day accompanied by a gentle breeze.

Besides, if you have something eating aiptasia. @fishguy242 is 100% right. Reduce size to the liking of the predator.
I would rather build computers for myself and my family then play that game of trying to catch and cut aips
Have a pile of snails, my only phos remover is GFO and im scared to go there again.

Alk will hold
Calcium is easy

Phos seems to be the only thing i cant get to be stable... reading it sounds like now i just need to get down and it should self hold?

Since media has now likely absorbed?
You can get phos removing pads to put in your sump - won't work nearly as quickly though
