i've heard that peppermint shrimp could make it worse meaning that when they eat it they actually end up spreading it more or they won't eat it at all. I have a fire shrimp right now and he could care less.

Certainly not in my case. 2 PPMs handle 180 lbs of LR for me. I've forgot what aiptasias look like since I got them.

Before I tried PPMS I tried manual removal, lemon juice and ap-X or whatever that chemical is called. Only the shrimp keep them from coming back in my case.

I agree with Peppermint shrimp,I had asked on here a few days back about Aiptaisia cause i suspected i was starting to grow it,after i identify'd it i went and got some Peppermint shrimp and by the next morning the Aiptaisia was all gone
