Filefish
 
I have had 4 filefish first three did nothing but pick at corals no luck with aptasia but number 4 got it all in a 120 gallon tank in about 6 weeks so some work. Also I have a copperband and it does nothing for me.

I tried Joe's Juice, Aiptasia X, Lemon Juice, Hot Water, Super high salinity water and all these things do is make them multiply faster... The minute you kill them with these methods, they will release more spores. I personally found it best to try and grab the rock out and torch it for a good 10 seconds. If you cannot take it out of the water, grab some putty and just try to cover the entire area it is in.These are good methods if you have just a few. If you have an invasion, then copperband or filefish may do the trick (I have had experience with copperband but not with filefish)

Super glue and putty seems to work for me.

kalk paste works for me.

I bought 5 peppermints and they seem to have gotten the smaller ones. but they're nocturnal so I don't see them. I think I've only seen one or 2 at night lately. might've died off by now. never had much luck keeping peppermints longer than 6 months.

Forgot to say I will compensate you of course =)

Which fish the file or copperband ?

Kraken 08-04-2013 04:14 AM

I would say filefish cause copperbands are somewhat harder to keep.
