My big problem is that the worst ones are 30" to the bottom and under rocks where I cannot reach them. Even with my long reach I just can't get down far enough.. Taking my rocks out to treat them is not an option either, so I just do my best to ensure corals are not getting stung, but it is getting tougher by the week.

A member said they bought 20 peppermint shrimp and set up a different tank. They would switch rocks out of the display to the shrimp tank, and they solved their problem. I have over 250 pounds of live rock and I just cannot take the bottom pieces out with the worst aiptasia. I wish I could but it would be impossible. This is one of the main reasons I am trying to rehome my puffer, since he eats anything beneficial to my tank.
