Sexy Shrimp eat Aiptasia (cooked)
 
I am sure the headline raised some hopes. Yesterday I received a large zoanthid rock from an acquaintance. The rock also contained one medium sized Aiptasia. So, to rid myself of this unwanted guest, I fragged the zoos in the immediate area, and treated the Aiptasia to some boiling water.
I returned the rock to the tank, and saw that the Aiptasia was all shrivelled up. Shortly thereafter all four of my tiny Sexy Shrimp gathered to snack on the carcass. They did not leave the area until all of the carcass was consumed. :biggrin:
