Peppermint Shrimps always worked for me, I added 4 to my 150 to get rid of and control them.

Sorry to hear that, I didn't realize you had a niger trigger, I wouldn't have suggested peppermint shrimps.
I like to ask question about any livestock that I want to add to my tank. I also like to use this guide http://www.liveaquaria.com/general/c...lity_chart.cfm

I bought peppermint shrimp a couple times, first time 3, then a few months ago another 6, well I don't see them anymore. Probably food for someone.
Anyways, on glass I scrape it off and flush if possible, but otherwise I use Tailored Aquatics Aptasia Destroyer. One treatment gets rid of it, without any adverse affects to the aquarium. Now keep in mind you can only treat so many at a time, as per instructions. So if you have a ton, it may take a few days. I love that stuff and it is cheap to buy.

I have only ever seen 2 come into my tanks in the last 3 years and I kill them using two part ALK. I load about 1ml into a syringe and stab them and squirt it inside them. They isntantly shrivel and then I watch them melt away. They don't return so it seems to work good.

aptasia
if you only have a couple-don't use berghia.a berghia will eat 1 aptasia a day and within 2 weeks will starve to death-good waste of money-mix up some kalkwasser into a thick paste and gently squirt it on the aptasia with a seringe-make sure you cover the base as well as that's where the daughter cells are.i've also injected the aptasia with lemon juice-works great-but again you have to worry about the daughter cells
