Default Aptasia Control

For those of you who have that pesty aptasia growing in your tank. I tried the aptasia control stuff you squirt inside of the plant and it kills it for a few days and seems to spread even more after you do that! well I read an article about Klein butterfly fish and aptasia, these fish really do work for controlling apatasia. try one you have nothing to loose but aptasia...

Joes Juice always seems to kill the Aptasia for me, but within a few weeks there quite a few more back with a vengeance!

The risk with butterfly fish is that some will decide to have a go at corals too.

I have personally found peppermint shrimps to be the most effective those with a latin name Lysmata Wurdermememememe I can never remember the spelling but it is something like that.
