absolutely they def arnt reefsafe, they tend to go for fleshy lps and fancy zoos more than anything else, but not all do as brad said ike angels its really hit or miss.

if you can borrow one off someone thats got a good one is best(i went that route once and borrowed mine to a friend for a couple weeks)

its worth a shot, def if you can remove some lps and zoas while hes doing his job.


also it has to b the matted filefish no other filefish will do the job, and alot get sold as matted filefish or aiptasia eating filefish.

this is the fish you are looking for:

Great idea on borrowing one! Never thought of that. I will post an add.
Want to get at the aiptasia before it gets worse.. maybe 10 or so that I can see.
I keep trying Aiptaisia X...not convinced its very effective

And officially highjacked! Lol. Thanks
For the help guys. Gonna stick it out with the peppermints and keep an eye open for a healthy copper band butterfly that's eating well.

Thanks

Sorry Adam!!

Maybe use the same idea of borrowing a matted filefish if your other methods dont work out. Aiptaisia are a pain! I just found one UNDER a frag disk.

Have you tried Aiptasia X as well?

[Adread]

No problem.

I have heard that it doesn't really work. I've tried lemon juice and it has worked on one but not any others.
