I'm being over-run by aiptasia. Joe's Juice can't keep up. It almost seems to be making them multiply. Any suggestions, please!

Have you tried using peppermint shrimp? I'm not particularly fond of them but, they did a nice job for me.

Will they hurt or eat anything else?

Berghia nudibranch. Saltyunderground.com sells them in packs. They do take a while, but in a month youll start to notice a significant change.

They may eat some featherdusters - that annoyed me but other than that, they are pretty safe.

I saw the nudibranch. kind of pricey, but I've got to try something and it's got to work.

I had about ten of them, dropped in 2 pepps and they were gone in a couple of days. I enjoy having them too, we hand feed them and they're alwys happy to see us!
