Australian Stripey

[anthonys_aqua]

I have a huge aiptasia issue and I'm looking to purchase one of these but can't find one anywhere,

I do have a copperband but all he eats is feather dusters

LMK if you guys know any shops that have one for sale

Try berghia or peppermint first

I tried peppermints, they haven’t done anything.

Berghia; I can’t find any locally cause I’m not going to pay a shipped price for them to get eaten or just disappear

Be patient with the copperband. The switch to eat aiptasia will eventually turn on. It took about 3 months for my copperband to start eating aiptasia. It cleared all my aiptasia in 2 days.

Ellis Aquatics seems to get the Australian Stripeys in pretty consistently

Stripy is a butterfly, so I can imagine they are limited reef safe wise. There is also pyramid butterflies that eat aiptasia

You need one from a hobbiest better chance of being reef safe

I think there was an influx of them and now they’re gone.

I’ve asked a few times now, only available place I’ve seen is marine collectors for like $200

I have one he mowed down my Aptisa, and I never seen him touch one. Nice fish, good personality.

Hit up Jason at Ellis he can most likely get you one.
