I've got a little aptaisia problem that is slowly growing into a larger issue. Anyone have experience with a file fish (tomentosos)?

LOL.. I thought about that too! I have to say, I have a couple that are kind of pretty in the light they are in. the rest are not so great
Looks like I will be investing in a filefish (cause my peppermint shrimp wants nothing to do with it) and turn some rocks so that the turbo snails can get to the hair algae or get a sea hare. ARGH
They are necessary but not very pretty, therefore not much "fun".

I've had great luck with copperband butterflies but the trouble is keeping them fed after the aptasia are gone.

I got one what ya want know Does/did it eat Aptasia? Does/did it nip/eat corals? Does it eat frozen food? What is its temperament? Where did you get it? How long have you had it? How long did it take to start eating Aptasia? What exact species is it? |

The Augusta PetCo has a filefish labeled ORA Aiptasia eating filefish. Not sure what species. It is $20 I think.
