Aptasia eating filefish

[Hallowhead]

Does anyone have one near 07066?

Brick Petco had some small ones.

This fish is not reef safe right?

LiveAquaria has them listed as "with caution". That said, I have two in a 90 gallon DT mixed reef who both enjoying munching on Aiptasia, but never saw any indication of them eating corals. I'm either lucky or my corals don't taste good. I'll also note I don't have zoas and heard that is what they might eat.

believe it or not.. i got some peppermint shrimp from petco recently (online order) that took care of my aiptasia problem.. or at least significantly reduced it over time

When the aiptasia was gone in my tank, it chowed down on all my zoas and Duncan's - anything that kind of looks similar.

I totally forgot about the those shrimps they also keep inline in check

Now that you mention it.. some of my zoas (especially the freshly fragged ones) dont tend to do to well.. was wondering if it was just getting hit with too much light.

Anything that's small, round and has tentacles on the perimeter looks like food to them.
