joe's juice works wonders! there's also a type of tang (a racoon tang -- does that sound right?) that will eat it.

copperband butterfly eats those. Joe's juice the best thing to get rid instantly of aiptasia.

copperband :

usually aiptasia looks more brown than on the pix

 

[dbacksrat]

copperbands will also eat some soft polyped corals...peppermint shrimp will sometimes eat aiptasia, but they generally have the same problem as the butterfly

 

[1979camaro]

copperbands may are often not a good long term solution for many reasons including difficulty of feeding and tank size needs

 

[seastaar88]

copperband butterfly eats those.

ahh yes.. i knew there was a tang or butterfly that ate them!

You can get lots of things to eat them, it's finding one that won't eat everything else that's the problem.....
