Problems with aptasia...

Well over the past year I have been very busy and my 5+year old 40 gallon reef tank has not recieved as much attention as it deserves. Thus creating an aptasia problem which has grown out of control. I currently have Ricordea, Zoanthids, Frogspawn, softies etc. I have tried berghia nudibrach's, Kalkwasser injections etc. I have thought about temporarily putting a small Copperband in, and transfer him then to a 95 gallon I maintain outside of my home. Does anyone see anything wrong with this? Thanks!

you can inject them with lemon juice. And get a few peppermint shrimp.

Tried pepperments and joe juice. There is just to many to inject, literally hundreds.

I would do the CB. Beware you will lose all featherdusters at the same time. Wait just reread your post. I think it will eat the Zoa's too.
