only thing a ric might hurt is another coral if allowed to touch it, and even then the ric might lose the battle

hehe, thanks guys!

what about fishes that goes with ricordia?
recently had a tuff of aipstasia that grows out from a live rock.. trying to find a fish that eats it, but won't harm the ricordias, and mushrooms..

can't really find peppermints in my region.. but butterflies are available though.. suggestions???? before my aipstasia overgrows my tank..

You might want to try berghia nudibranches - that is what I used and I have not seen even a little baby aiptasia in well over six months. They only eat aiptasia - not mushrooms, zoas, or anything else.
