Copperbands tend to have very poor survival rates and might not fare well with the trigger. I've also heard that Longnose Butterflys will eat aiptasia, but again I would worry about how one would fare in a tank with a trigger. I understand that butterflys don't fare overly well with aggressive tankmates.

I injected boiling water into its body and it worked really well.

I second the raccoon. He ate them in our tank.

pretty much any non-reef safe butterfly will work, auriga butterflies work very well.

The question about Lemon Juice is yes it does work..Just inject it in. they wilt and die...but if you have to do quite a few of them you need to do a water change, Seems to change the water parameters a bit.

When I had aptasia I did notice my eel occasionally touching them and twitching away the same way it does when it touches my sebae anemone.

I also ran into the same problem with my 120g tank. I bought 6 peppermint shrimps to keep the apthasia under control.
I have not seen any re-occurrence of apthasia since. |
