aiptasia
Nudies are the best option. Pepermint shrimp are hit and miss with eating them. The main reason why is that they normally have other food selections that they will go after before eating aiptasia. I also read in the Marine Reef Aquarium Handbook second edition (page 92) that you can use an elegance coral to sting them. "Lift your elegance coral by its base and press the tentacles against those nasty Aiptasia anemones. One sting from an elegance coral should kill them." (quoted from book).
If i had an elegance coral thats what i would do, i dont so its nudibranchs for me.
Copperbands are difficult as well. First you need to find one, quarantine it, ( flukes is common with them) get it eating and healthy and then hopefully it eats aiptasia and leaves your other corals alone.
