I've had a dozen or so aptaisia brewing in the tank for a few months now. I had been using Joes Juice to try to control them but they kept on coming back. I was finally able to add a Copperband Butterflyfish this evening (thanks to Kelly @ The Reef Shoppe (http://www.thereefshoppe.ca). Within a few hours all but 2 or the anemone's are gone. The best part is that he'll eat any that come back too. :lol:

It will also eat your coral

It's been just a few hours now so too soon to tell, but the fish was leaving Kelly's corals alone before I got it. hope it doesn't go after the corals after the aptaisia and 'lil feather dusters are gone. I did move my large feather dusters into a different tank before putting the fish in though.

It's been about 18 hours since the CBB went in and my tank appears to be Aptaisia free! waahoo Unfortunately the 'lil feather dusters are gone too, but I can live with that. :lol:

I had one for a while and it didn't bother any corals, once he picked away the aptaisia he loved to eat mysis.
