aipstasia eating butterfly

[gusmanda]

assuming there aren't any corals to worry about, what butterfly is most reliable at eating aipstasia?

Kleins butterfly.

My copperband loves them :cool:

[gusmanda]

have not heard of that one before, do you have a picture?

[gusmanda]

I've had bad luck with my copperband, it won't touch them. My LFS person tells me I have too many pods keeping the fish busy, he might be right as the fish does not eat anything except picks at rocks, have had the Copperband for 6 months now and continues to do this

CBB are hit and miss from what I hear. I have a CBB, and, well....mine is a miss. A buddy just picked up a couple of Kleins on Monday and put them in a tank that was grossly overtaken with hundreds and hundreds of aiptasia. Monday, hundreds-Friday(today) 4. Thats right he has 4(four) left. Guess I should have gone with the kleins butterfly instead.

HTH

Good luck

"assuming there aren't corals to worry about"

don't go for kleins or cbb. go for something generally not considered reef safe.

[gusmanda]

such as the Auriga Butterfly?

Racoon butterfly is pretty much garenteed to eat them ( plus anything else it fancies)
