I got into the hobby at 14, because I convinced my dad I could maintain a reef tank. Now I am 16 and here is my 130 gallon tank.

After they eat all your aiptasia. Bergia nudibranchs have a diet that soley consists of aiptasia, they will be active at night, and move much faster than you may think. They can reproduce in aquaria, and will survive until the aiptasia population reaches zero. The aiptasia will (at least in my experience) not regrow after the bergia nudibranchs consume them, and should not appear in your tank unless introduced on a coral frag, live rock ect or if there was aiptasia in a spot they cannot reach like a sump, HOB filter, ect. I highly recommend them, and if you want to try, you can attempt to sustain a population by culturing aiptasia to always have them on standby (small 10-20(long) gallon aquarium, filled with rubble, broadcast fed, add an aiptasia covered rock, will spread quickly, remove small rubble with aiptasia attached and drop it in to bergia culture setup, something like a 5 gal with some rock for cover)

Peppermint shrimp are definitely opportunistic coral-eaters, though I'm not sure about RFA's, @ISpeakForTheSeas may know.

They have been known to sometimes eat RFA's:

RFA and peppermint shrimp

Can an RFA eat a peppermint shrimp? I added 2 shrimp to a QT to hopefully eat aiptasia off a rock that has 4 RFAs on it. This morning I saw the attached. Did not expect this at all.

Your 16? And have THAT tank? Wow. I'm 60 and have yet to (re)start! Gotta admit, although my body doesn't feel it my brain still feels your age. First thing I thought of was "How he gonna move this tank when he moves out!". GREAT JOB!
