How did you get rid of Aptasia?

[EmilyB]

Could not vote as another type of fish was not an option.

I used the Matted Filefish Acreichthys tomentosus

Yup matted filefish best non chemical weapon bar none,and touches no corals.

when I looked it up I got this
"The Matted Filefish is known to eat Aiptasia anemone in the home aquarium, but normally nips at soft and stony corals as well."

aside from that it is one ugly fish

Mine hasn't touched any other coral, and cleaned my tank of hundreds of aptasia. And after a while, they kinda become cute

Edit: I've also had him 6 months now, long after the aptasia were done, and he thrives on mysis. In my mind, absolutely the best defense against aptasia..

I think anyone who has had one won't go back to other methods, and I agree they are the ultimate Solution, mine also ate mysis like a champ and I had him in with everything he had about 70 different coral to choose from abd ge chose aiptasi and then mysis like nothing up close they are cool looking lots of little detail

I did'nt vote 'cause the method I use is'nt on the poll. I use a zapper on them, works for majano's as well.
