CBBs, or matted filefish. but you run the risk of losing some or all of your LPS. Each fish is different so you have to try your luck.

Sometimes peppermint shrimp will work. As for fish the matted file fish is known to eat aptasia

Just started a thread on this yesterday, it's in the forum section under new to saltwater and fish, end of 1st page or top of 2nd once in that section. Some great advice was given.

I'm lead to understand there are two species of peppermint shrimp. One will eat it the other one maybe nibble at it. I've had good luck with them.

Kliens butterfly will Eat them had one personally but once the aiptasia were gone it started on my zoanthids i have also had filefish that i never saw eat it not saying it didn't but saying i never saw it eat it. I've had peppermint Shrimp that have ate it and some that never touched it. Best in my opinion is a copper band butterfly. The one i have now Took care of all mine In less than a week. This fish is not for a beginner tho. If you do get one make sure it's eating other food and even if is eating at fish store they might not once you get them home.here's my current copper band
