Question?!?!?…aiptasia

[ReefMexicanic]

I got aiptasia in my 40 Breeder. Not bad. Few here and there less then a nickel size if that. But I won’t use medicine or anything like that. I would like to get a utilitarian animal… fish or shrimp. I have a leapard wrasse.. worried about adding such a small shrimp.. or I also heard a Australian Stripey, Microcanthus strigatus is also a good one and is one of the few fish that less likely to eat coral since 90% of my tank is LPS and softies.

Peppermint shrimp did it for me

Even with the wrasse ? How many for better chances ? Btw I have a huge pistol shrimp the dwells in the back… concern?

Have you tried super gluing them?
What is your reason for not wanting to use medicated treatment like Aiptasia X?

You can also try injecting them with boiling RODI water, hit up your local CVS for some hypodermic needles.
