Does anybody know what can be kept with Aiptasia anemones? I know it's feasible to run a Berghia nudibranch farm, but I'm interested in cross-culture of food organisms to maximize space/resources. To that end, are Aiptasia, zoanthids and starfish compatible, for the purpose of culturing Berghia, zoanthid eating nudibranchs, and harlequin shrimp? This is more of a thought experiment than an "I'm actually going to do this" post, since...COVID-19 tbh.

Additionally, what other "pest" species might do well in a tank like this, especially those pertaining to the saltwater hobby in general? I know that aiptasia tends to be considered a pest, but I also think that zoanthid eating nudis are really colorful and cool!
