Klein's butterflyfish, if your tank is big enough. They're especially great if you can sustain a small school. Very hardy, not picky eaters, beautiful schoolers.
Something to keep in mind about everything suggested except nudibranchs is that they are not going to eat aiptasia or mojanos by preference - there's going to have to be almost nothing else for them to eat or scavenge.
So don't go training your new pest control onto prepared foods as soon as you get him home, and don't put them in a tank you will be unable to stop feeding for a little while. If we're talking Peppermints, you can expect them to completely groom your tank before digging into aiptasia. Partly this is why people have more success with large numbers of Peppermints. In a 180g that's "well infested", thirty or more Peppermints wouldn't be too many. Even double that.
I would skip shrimps if you have a big predator - Peppermints may never come out.
