I have a crazy aiptasia problem. I have a handful of peppermint shrimps but they don't touch it. I have heard that Cbb are 50/50 when it comes to eating coral polyps. Has anyone had success with these guys.

Stop feeding your tank. The peppermints will start feeding on aiptasias. My father in law had an infested tank, and he tried peppermints. They weren't even making a dent. I told him to stop feeding his tank, within a few days his aiptasias started disappearing.

He cut back to every other day, and fed less. Usually peppermints grab the extra food that falls to the bottom of the tank. So don't feed too much all at once.

The pbt is doing great. He eats a ton, and never showed signs of ich. Thanks again man. I love that fish.

Your fish can go a good period of time between feeding. Don't sweat a few days at all
