According to J&L these are the peppermints that eat aiptasia but I havent seen them devour any nor any decrease in them even in the little ones.

Thats why I was hoping someone would have a 1 or 2 that are definitly been seen eating them.

I bought a copper banded butterfly for my aptasia and within a week he had ate it all, not only that but makes a great addition to the tank and mine leaves my corals alone.

Copperbands..... (droool) I'd consider growing aptasia just to keep a Copperband.

The wife and I were watching a peppermint doing battle with a BIG aptasia tonight it's kinda funny to watch, he pecks at them to make them go in their hole then attacks them in the hole. The aptasia won tonight but I don't think he will win against my needle full of boiling vinigar....MUHAHAHAHAHA

A buddy of mine had the worst infestation ever. Every surface was covered, litteraly. He bought a Racoon butterfly and in about 2 weeks the tank is 75% clean. Amazing job.

Butterflies and copperbands are probably good, but not if you have a reef with small inverts. there wont be any of those left either.
