Has anyone ever won the battle against aptasia?

So has anyone fought the battle against aptasia and won?
Joes Juice, butterfly fish, peppermint shrimp...
Anyone win? Or should I surrender?

Copperband butterfly and peppermint shrimp did it for me. Sometimes the peppermint shrimp won't go after the larger ones. You can hit them with some kalk or another chemical that would kill them.

Thanks James, nice to see another dentist on here too.

No problem! I think there might be one or two more trolling around here, as well. We've got to stick together!!

One thing I get a kick out of is what people think of my name here. Reefer Madness has the same problem... It's not marijuana...

I won the battle, or at least I think I have won. I caught it early with only 1 aptasia visible in my tank, I went out and purchased 2 peppermint shrimp. I shrimp died the first night in the tank but on the second night the aptasia was gone and I haven't seen any since.
