ORA Aiptasia eating file fish $15 and your done. Worked for me. I have over 50

Filefish also eat inverts as well as soft corals and lps corals.

I've used boiling rodi in a syringe with good success. If you can take out any of your rock and hit it with 10-20 ml of boiling water on each that will do the trick. Any rock that you can't get to can be handled with the same method in tank. After the final blast of water you can usually retract the syringe to remove the dead pest as well.

Mine has eaten some green zoa nuclear deaths but haven't touched anything else. It was ok for me because they were taking over anyway. Over grown. It was worth it to get rid of those aiptasias.

Make a paste with kalk and DI water mix, just as thick as pancake batter then use a syringe to cover them and choke them out. Don't go crazy it will raise your pH. Kill a few at a time. Works on gsp also.

No warranty on this go slow or you will nuke your tank. Use at your own risk. That being said works great for me. I kill 2 or 3 a day until I get them all.

I had like 50 in my DT and have 2 now with peppermint shrimp only, and I had like 25 in my chill room tank, I have 0 now with a file fish and 1 pepper mint shrimp in my overflow lol

I have been battling them for a long time, some are in places i can not reach, unless i pull my tank apart, i put in pepper mint shrimp, but i have not seen them,may be my banded shrimp got them,if i put the peppermint shrimp in the over flow and sump how can they get them in the DT

but if you can not get to them it is no good

Both times I had breakouts it was from either a frag or some rock that I got from a fellow Reefer locally. And both times after the use of Joe's Juice I never had an issue as long as that tank was running
