Hay if you ‘z all are looking for an aptasia eating machine I have tried and had decent luck with a “Matted Filefish”….
I was not sure this would work when I first bought one but as soon as the little sucker hit my reef it didn’t even have its tail out’a the bag and it slurped up a small aptasia,(no lie) I knew I was in luck in my fight. The Matted Filefish took out the Zoa-size baby Aptasia and I hit the larger ones with “Stop aptasia” by “Chem Marine”. I had a 120g tank and 50+- aptasia, and within a month and a lot of work hitting the dandelions of the reef, I was down to only 5 or so.
Now this fish can grown fast and eats brine & mysis shrimp and other fish food also, and is a cool looking fish for the reef.
Colby at Elite” has them almost in every shipment and could get them in if requested.
Also I didn't notice it nipping at my corals at all but it had lots of aptasia to eat so it might be something to watch for in it's adult stage.

The "stop-aptasia" is great and is safe for the reef and other anemone's, just dont kill to many at one time as it will sour-up your tank if they are not removed in time.
oh ya!!! and Bristle worms Really don't like the Stop Aptasia either, so much so I would call it stop aptasia/Bristle worms.... =oD
