ID please!!

Butterfly fish and peppermint shrimp can be problem children when/ if they have cleared your tank of these. They will go after other coral if not given appropriate amounts of food. These guys are hit and miss as some won't even eat them. The nudis will for sure but then must be rehomed to prevent starvation. The best imo is to use a zapper.
 
Any kind of butterfly fish?
I think specifically the copperband butterfly. If I recall correctly they are a bit difficult to care for. So it may be best if you have an LFS that will loan you one to eat your aiptasia that you can then take back when it's done if it doesn't do well in your tank.
 
Some lfs will rent them. They are an expensive purchase but they are a one time deal that you can use over and over. If you know someone handy there are also diy plans out there but don't attempt unless you know what your doing! This is mixing electricity with water.
