Aptasia eating file fish.

[JMM744]

Looking for one or two that will eat aptasia and are disease free. Anyone point me in the right direction?

I've used the captive bred ones produced by biota they are supposed to be raised exclusively on aptasia mine eliminated all aptasia while leaving my anemones and zoas alone. Experiences may vary but mine were positive

try a captive bred one from Biota. Should be available from Algaebarn or Liveaquaria

I starved mine in a frag tank with aiptasia. He cleared my DT in a week after getting a taste.

Are they disease free?

They are coming out of Biota. Once it hits someone else's tank, there's no guarantee - you don't know what might be living in the holding tanks or display tanks of a shop.

Regardless of whether they're disease-free, though, they do feast on aiptasia. They'll also potentially feast on any large, fleshy corals, so keep that in mind.
