Copperband butterfly will erradicate your aptasia in less than a week, unfortunately after that they often die of starvation..... If you can catch him after your done then you can sell him off to the next person with an aptasia infestation....

I got an auriga butterfly from JL which should clean it up. Monocus i've been able to get some of the aiptasia off the glass and put it in a bottle but it isn't much, if you've got any ideas to get the rest off the sand/rock I can try and get it off for you

A single peppermint shrimp has taken care of my aptasia but I only have 12 gallons.
