Natural Remedy.

Syringe - Boiling/Hot water and Lemon Juice or Vinegar sprayed into the mouth.

I use matted filefish they keep them in check and dont bother anything else. They eat anything offered so you can keep them after the infestation is gone.

aptasia-x is quick and dirty IMO.

I put into my tank 6 peppermint shrimp....and waited, and waited. Nothing happened, so while i was researching something else to use i realized that all the aptasia were gone. I guess the shrimp got it done.

I use filefish also. They really did a number on the Aptasia.. But then started nipping some other corals. I would rather have no Aptasia than the few things they nip on!

I just wiped out all most all of my aiptasia injecting them with vinegar. Just watch your ph, it may drop, but most likely if U don't use lots of vinegar u won't see any effect on the ph

I've used peppermint shrimp on two occasions with success. Once, one of them began nipping at a plate coral, so I sold to another reefer with an Aiptasia problem.

Just make sure your LFS is selling you peppermint shrimp. There's another kind of shrimp (similar to a peppermint shrimp) that is commonly sold under that name. To my knowledge, these won't eat aiptasia and are not reef safe.

I like the idea of a peppermint shrimp, however I am concerned that my flame hawk will eat it.
