My tank is being over run by aiptasia ever since my pepermint shrimp died, and I can't find them any Where right now, I guess they're out of season. If anyone can help me with this problem I would greatly appreciate it. Joeys juice works like crap they come back within 3-4 days.

They have 2 left at Big AL's on 99st. They are a bit pricy tho
Have you considered a copper band butterfly? Mine decimated all of the aptasia in my tank.

Have you tried Joe's Juice instead of shrimp or fish? It works very very well.

I've been getting rid of a few aptasia by injecting them using a 1 ml. needle tipped syringe filled with Kent calcium supplement (probably calcium chloride). Works as well as injecting them with vinegar, but without the pH change.

On a similar topic, would a CBB also eat Majano's? I have so many that its impossible to stay on top of them with injections or Joes juice. What else would a CBB eat? I am converting my 90 reef into a 140 FOWLR in the next few weeks. But would like to keep my crabs, snails and cleaners.
My CBB has not bothered any of my peppermint shrimp, cleaner shrimp, hermit crabs, my strawberry conch, any of the turbo or cerith snails or my emerald crab.

Copperband's are kind of hit and miss when it comes to eating Aiptasia. I had one that ate Aiptasia like crazy but wouldn't eat much else after he had cleaned the tank out and I had another one that wouldn't touch the stuff. They can be somewhat difficult to keep due to their finicky eating habits.

Little Oceans had about 10 pepermint shrimp in last week.
