i have a huge outbreak of aptasia as well. i was thinking of boiling all my rock and cleaning out my whole tank ( including boiling the sand) an cleaning the tank with vinegar water. my fish i can put in another tank for a little while when i do this but what can i do with my corals? coral bath? will that get rid of the little buggers?

fjsman was selling off a bunch of peppermint shimp about a month ago. He might have some left. I picked up a few to clean out my sump. They do a great job. Just make sure not to feed them until all the pests are gone.
