I have a nice fat Peppermint, never visible during the day. I have NO APTASIA in my display. One or two in the sump though. I don't think the Peppermints will do anything about larger Aptasia, but they sure prevent new ones from growing. So for an Aptasia problem, blast all visible/large ones with whatever you find works; kalk, vinegar, hot water, ect., then add 1 or 2 Pep. Shrimp per 50 Gallons. Using that formula should get rid of them for as long as the Peppermints live.

I've done the epoxy smother . . . if the rock is too pourous, the devils retract and come up next to the putty! Works good on flat surfaces.

I dont see my peppermints anymore either (during the day) I believe I saw one when I put the flashlight against the tank and tghen it was gone
 I believe they hide when its light out.. I know when i 1st put them in and the lights were off I used a flashlight and they took off trying to hide. I have no aptasia any more that I can see 1st time in 2.5 years I think... and 1st time I tried pepps works better than anything I tried.
