Re: Aiptasia eaters
The correct spelling is nudibranchs. Some other butterflyfishes may eat them but they would be even less appropriate than the copperbanded butterflyfish for a reef aquarium.

Silver Scats, which are a brackish water fish, can be acclimated to full saltwater, and eat aiptasia like crazy.

Scats
It seems, that they grow quite large, around 6" in tanks. Pity, that not for nano tanks.
BTW, how they are with corals, filter feeding sea cucumbers and small tube worms?
Others aiptasia eaters usually start with tube worms.Mostly non-photosynthetic corals and fine filter feeders.

Re: Aiptasia eaters
The nudibranchs worked for me. Plus seeing those 2 multiply into 10 or more was fun to watch. No more aiptasia
