I agree with Fishfanatic. I too have had great results with Copperbands for eradicating aptasia. But be prepared to have foods to feed the Copperband after all the aiptasia are eaten. Many of these fish are known to only eat mysis shrimp. So you'd best have some frozen mysis on hand.

Ya thats true mine only eats mysis now won't even touch flakes or Nori

copperbanded
 
I hear that the copperbanded are great, but feeding them after is the biggest problem & usually end up starving to death. Whereas the Racoon has a much better chance as it will eat other food.

Or a Red Sea Butterfly.

If you get a copperbanded make sure he is eating first with a racoon there is a much higher chance he will eat you corals.

I would like to welcome Rocky the RACOON :)
 
My newest addition to the family, let's see what happens, his new name could be FAT Rocky once he finishes with the Aspitasia.
