I tried adding a peppermint shrimp but my clownfish is a jerk and killed it. I really should get rid of him, he bites me like crazy.

Anyone have any advice for me? Or is this something that I will just always struggle with?

Thanks.

You could try a copperband butterfly fish or berghia nudibranchs depending on your setup and what you have in it. Aside from those proven methods there isn't much out there that will remove them for good. Aptasia x just stuns them and causes them to release spores. The harder you try the faster they come back.
