Can someone enlighten me on whether to get CopperBand or Long Nose Butterfly for the clearing of Aiptasia? Too many to manually kill... Comes back after some time... Really tired of killing every few months...
TIA...

I had mine removed by peppermint shrimps.
I think peppermint shrimps are most effective if they work.
As copperband may not be able to reach some nooks and crannies.

Another alternative is to use Joes Juice which is very effective in getting rid of them.

I uses JOE's Juice..it works...I just kill try at one-go...never see it open again..
IMO, always target on the Larger one 1st...then the smaller can go with the remainder...
I inject 2ml and killed 5 at one-go...VERY effective(IMO)..
