How do you address aiptasia in a BTA dominant tank, are peppermint shrimps out of the question since they tear apart glass anemones?

TIA
 
It’s risky and peppermints are a 50/50 on eating aptasia
 
I've never heard of peps going after bta's. Other nems yes but not bta's. I've had several batches of peps and never had an issue with them going after bta's. I now have rock anemones in addition to a bta so when and if I do get aptasia I'll try berghia.
 
Filefish... then hit the leftovers with a hot soldering iron until crisp...out of the waters, of course
 
I’ve got a few peppermint shrimp in my BTA tank that were there before the BTA’s. They haven’t bothered them at all, and I have like 12 BTA’s in there of various sizes.
