    You can't tweeze them, it just helps them spread.

    I have two peppermints and they love aptasia. I am assuming away, I have never actually seen them eat it, but after about 2-3 nights in the tank, all of my aptasia was gone. I had about 10 little 1/8" size aptasias.

    In the tank i just tore down(redoing...) i got one of the smallest peppermints i have ever seen... I really didn't want it that small but that was all the LFS had, so of course i grabbed him, floated him, had him for a couple days, and found that my giant aiptasia had him for lunch.....:-/
