Aptasia Eaters

The Fish Shop in Chamblee had peppermints, but be warned= I bought 3 and a parasitic isopod was latched onto one under its gill plate. Supposedly not too harmful from what I've read, but I still performed "surgery" and removed it as it created an unsightly and uncomfortable looking bulge. But it's active and eating well, so at least there's that.
Free Filefish(s)
I have two filefish I’ve caught. One large one small. They will clear out aptasia, will nip in coral as well. Located in Duluth.

I had to do the same a little over 6 months ago. Bought 3 and still have 3 so I guess I didn't cause any damage.

They take a while to eat the aptasia. You may think they all died and a couple months goes by and BOOM...all of a sudden your aptasia is gone or dissapearing fast. I didn't really notice all of them were gone until I saw the nudibranchs crawling on the glass during the day...looking for more aptasia I presume. At the point where all the aptasia are gone...catch them and sell them or give them away. They only eat aptasia so they will starve otherwise. You will also have more than you started with. Place them near aptasia when you start, not ON aptasia.
