I have an issue with aptasia in my mixed reef tank.. I have 4 peppermints in there but, I think they are duds... has anyone used Aptasia X and how did you like it, good or bad and is it safe for reefs..

Pickup a few nudibranch they will clear your tank in no time, other option get a filefish but then u have to take it out after it ate all the aphasia or it will start eating your zoas.

Not a big fan of the nudi approach myself, hard about a couple of tank crashes from dead ones...

I have not heard of the specific type of beghia that eat Aiptasia to be toxic at levels enough to hurt a tank. We have sold hundreds and significant amounts to people in smallish systems. Nothing but positives from them.

Likely the most dangerous are the larger ones that are the most colourful. Berghia are max 1" when fully grown they are tiny compared to some of the other species.
