Aiptasia and other corals
Okay I have a big aiptasia issue, and they really love the bottom of my rocks sitting in the sand. My copperband butterfly is not fish enough to eat them, and I can't reach them. She seems to pick at the little ones, but would much rather eat mysis and prepared foods.Because I have my puffer, I cannot consider peppermint shrimp at this time. I feel pretty defeated and the ones I get with lemon juice just come back stronger. I cannot use anything caustic since my fish all surround me when I am in the tank. I don't want them injured or burned by anything to combat this awful infestation.
I have a brain coral I need to move out of the jaws of my Emperor angel and the only place he cannot reach has aiptasia along the rock bottoms. Will the aiptasia sting the brain coral?
Also what corals do they tend to sting? I noticed mushrooms and zoas don't like them, but what about the other corals? I am feeling pretty defeated over this, but cannot do anything aside of living with them.
