What kinds of corals do you find the filefish eat? I'm thinking of trying one in my softy tank. I doubt they will munch leathers or nems but a little concerned about candycanes.

Both are fine but as Kraken said, would rather prefer the file as the copperband is harder to keep.

If you cannot take it out of the water, grab some putty and just try to cover the entire area it is in.These are good methods if you have just a few. If you have an invasion, then copperband or filefish may do the trick (I have had experience with copperband but not with filefish)

Aptasia went rampid in my tank. AptasiaX was great at the onset but got progressively worst!

I decided to purchase a coral banded butterfly. It worked great eating all the aptasia.......along with the rest of my corals!

Just need to find the right copper banded butterfly.

Good luck!
