I had a serious aiptasia problem in my tank! 100s of them in my 155gal. I used 4 peppermint shrimp, a copperband butterfly and aiptasia x. Let me tell you aiptasia was eradicated within a month completely!
How many Peppermint shrimps should I get?

I just got a Filefish from Biota last week. This thing came in very small and the one before from Liveaquaria did eat any Aiptasia. I dont think they eat corals at least my are not
I have a 75g and had an Aiptasia problem. I add 4 shrimp. Aiptasia was gone in a week.
I have a125 gal got a filefish ate almost everyone then ate my corals so got rid of him. Then aptasia came back. Got 3 shrimp and cleaned tank clean. Guess I got lucky with them.

Hi check out algae barn they claim that the peppermint shrimp they aquaculture eat aptasia I just ordered one so I will find out if what they say is true.
I have a rsm250 65g. There was about 20 aptasias if not more that were in between rock work, I purchased two pep shrimps and within 24hrs I did not see one. I put them in about 5-6pm lights went out at 9pm and by the next day afternoon I did not see one, but now I have a problem one of them is picking at my dendros and they haven’t opened up smh so I’m trying to catch the one that’s left lol
I got 4 in a 40 gallon and none of them ate the aiptasia but they did flip over my snails and start killing/eating them!

Welp, I got myself 4 Peppermints about 3 weeks ago. They are VERY shy. I only know where they are because I have spent a couple of hours looking for them. So far, I can't say if they have eaten any Aiptasia. I decided to give them some help with an Aiptasia eating Filefish
