Default LPS Safe + Aiptasia Eater?

Anyone know of a LPS safe fish that also eats Aiptasia? The only one that comes to mind is a Copperband, but those are iffy with LPS. Peppermint shrimp won't work either because of a trigger fish that I have.

Our CBB eats apastia and leaves our LPS alone. However he does like to nip at zoos, xenia and clams.

My Copperbanded leaves everything alone. Clams zoos LPS. but a lot of them never eat in captivity. I actually waited until a LFS had some that where eating Mysis. They called me and told me they where eating. Then they fed them while I was there.

peppermint shrimp might eat aiptasia if you have enough and they generally leave your coral alone. Any coral that's in sorry shape will get eaten by the peppermint shrimp possibly. Myself I don't like most shrimp in my tank because it makes it real hard to feed LPS.
