It is extremely difficult to get one peppermint to eat your Aiptasia. I recommend adding .5-1 peppermint shrimp per gallon. Sounds like a lot, but they will usually do the trick and they are cheaper than Berghia.

That's a lot of peppermint!

What's the odds of keeping peppermints with coral banded?

Hey, this forum has helped another (ME). I took Jake's advice and added more peppermint shrimp to my tank. I now have 4 shrimp in a 20 gallon tank and my aptaisia "problem" has been nipped in the bud. I now only have two when a month ago I had perhaps 10. Thanks!
