Hi all, as you might of read above i seem to have lost peppermint i bought. So today i went and picked up a aiptasia eating filefish i ordered from LFS and its one ugly looking fish, hope it does its job cause its scaring the kids X_X. Its pecked at a couple of aips and also my yellow polyps to :-SS but hoping it keeps away from them or ill have to move them to the sump. Ill try and get a photo of it on here later to see what you think. Cheers Blake

Hmm not the cutest fish going is it.  Lots of people never see the peppermints after adding them, does not mean they are dead though - they have good Ninja skills.

Found the peppermint shrimp today alive and well :yahoo:. The filefish seems to like everything but Aiptasia so far. He also likes a roll in the xenia, hope his not going to damage it?  The aiptasia are coming back more every day and there not small ones ether  :growl:. Ive been told that i should try and starve the filefish  to try and get him to start eating them, any suggestions how to do this? im putting very small amounts of brine shrimp in hoping bigger fish eat them before him, but hes straight in there.
