    i put a copperband in one of my tanks awhile back to eat the apatasia and it never touched them. also tried peppermint shrimp and i dont know if they did. but a syringe and kalk works.

    Make sure that the copperband you get is from Australia as copperbands that come from other waters may eat your corals as well as your aiptasia. We've never had any problem feeding them other foods. Some eat flakes, mysis shrimp, black worms and mosquito larvae so try some of those if you find that it's finiky. Contact Tangster, he might have one in the shop and if he doesn't he can order one for you. They will eat your tubeworms though so if you're not willing to part with them, this fish might not be for you.
