I just picked one up and it hasn't touched any aiptasia yet. He's still in quarrantine and maybe its because he hasn't fully settled in yet. But I have 3 leathers attached to live rock that I moved to that tank due to space restrictions in the main reef and they each have 3 or 4 aiptasia on the base of the rock that the leather is attached to, so far, the file hasn't gone after a single one.

I have one peppermint and one file fish in that quarrantine tank and neither have gone after a single nem yet.

Squirt some mysis into the aptasia, the pep will eventually see the aptasia as food. I have one pep in my display and rarely see aptasia. The sump on the other hand... Loaded with them. I bought 6 more peps for my sump (apparently they like to be in groups), less than a week ALL my aptasia GONE.
