    I put 5 pep shrimp in and they spent the first day wondering around. The next day they were all huddled under one rock and have been there ever since. I watched one aiptasia get eaten.

    The aiptasia x seems to only work for the large ones, the small ones seem to survive.

    I had a terrible Aiptasia problem and I used both Aiptasia X and peppermint shrimp and within 2 weeks they were all gone and have not showed back up since. I think the key is that you kill the big ones with Aiptasia X and the Shrimp kill the small ones that you cannot get too or see. Otherwise you will never be able to get to every single aiptasia on your own. The shrimp do a great job but I would recommend getting more then one since some of them do not eat the aiptasia.
