Aiptasia

[Iyad Aoun]

I have problems with Aiptasia in the display tank.I used to see some in the sump,and never in the display tank .Recently I began to see some colonies that are mainly in the right part of the tank.My chelmon is not eating them and anyway I never saw a chelmon eating them.Using aiptasia x is not easy and since the tank is huge I have difficulties to really destroy them.Have you tried the filefish.Any ideas ?thx

You could try peppermint shrimps but aiptasia will spread again unless you deal with the ones in your sump as well.

Aiptasia eating filefish work well but eventually mine started eating my zoas. He’s now in my fish only tank.

to tell you the truth ,between zoas and aiptasia invading my tank the choice is easy,so I will find myself one filefish
