Aptaisia Destroyer!
 
I've had a dozen or so aptaisia brewing in the tank for a few months now. I had been using Joes Juice to try to control them but they kept on coming back. I was finally able to add a Copperband Butterflyfish this evening (thanks to Kelly @ The Reef Shoppe. Within a few hours all but 2 or the anemone's are gone. The best part is that he'll eat any that come back too. :lol:

It will also eat your coral

It's been just a few hours now so too soon to tell, but the fish was leaving Kelly's corals alone before I got it. hope it doesn't go after the corals after the aptaisia and 'lil feather dusters are gone. I did move my large feather dusters into a different tank before putting the fish in though.

i've had a CBB for 3 years now and it has never touched any of my corals.

Got a CBB in my 72g reef and all is good...one of my favorite fish.:biggrin:

It's been about 18 hours since the CBB went in and my tank appears to be Aptaisia free! waahoo Unfortunately the 'lil feather dusters are gone too, but I can live with that. :lol:

I had one for a while and it didn't bother any corals, once he picked away the aptaisia he loved to eat mysis.
