I've used file fish successfully over the years, in fact just picked up another last week. Not all of them eat aiptasia though, and will sometimes eat sps polyps .
I always wanted a zapper, they look like phenomenal fun, and highly effective.

I agree the zapper looks like alot of fun.

This fish was sold specifically as "Aptasia eating File Fish". The girl at the LFS also confirmed to me that he had been eating aptasia that had gotten into some of thier live rock

Good news.

After applying the Aphasia-X and adding the Filefish, I am seeing 0 visible signs of Aphasia.

Now the only question... what else will my new filefish eat?

 

[soco]

Good luck. Keep en eye out for stragglers. Those little suckered will hid everywhere

Stragglers was one of the key reasons for getting the filefish. he should sniff them out before I see them.

How long is he ?

@Oxylebius any idea Sue?

 

[Oxylebius]

A nudibranch. Looks like a possible Arminia species. Many Arminids eat soft corals. Perhaps this is good if you need to control your xenia

 

[KaCee Bunn-Smith]

He is about 3.5 cm

Cheers Sue - I thought the two black oral tentacles (is that what are they called?) might have been the key

 

[KaCee Bunn-Smith]

Nudibranches look quite interesting when I have just looked them up. Is it worth keeping in or should I try to get rid?

How big would I expect it to get?

This one would most likely eat soft corals. I'd get rid of it. Nudibranchs normal lifespan is short, it won't live longer then a year so if you keep it, it won't be around very long.
