Aiptasia showing up everywhere, peppermint shrimp or berghia?

Berghia are the sure thing but theyre pricey and they starve once the aiptasia are gone. In a 20 I'd try one peppermint first. Make sure its an actual Lysmata wurdemanni, a lot of stores sell the wrong shrimp.

I used aiptasia-x on the ones I could reach and a peppermint for the rest. Took about a month but theyre gone.

Got a peppermint yesterday. Pretty sure he already ate one? Theres a spot where one was and now its just gone.

Final update, counted zero last night. The peppermint did the whole job. Only downside is he steals food from my zoas now.
