Yes. Here is a link that may help depending on the amount growing. I prefer these due to not adding any chemicals to the tank. Not the cheapest way.

We put a couple of peppermint shrimp in our 28 gal hex, which was overrun with Aiptasia. They were gone in 24 hours! Make sure you get true pps, though, and not camels. The pps are very interesting, too: ours spawn every few weeks, and molt. Lots of fresh food for our fish.

I had some aptasia's in my 75. 2 pepps fixed the problem in a few days.

Don't go the bergia route. Once they eat all of the Aptasias, they will starve. Go with Aptasia X and peppermint shrimp.

Thanks for the information and suggestions. I injected some lemon juice on them twice last week. It has not come back since. I also put 2 peppermint shrimp in to control the spreading of the small brown polyp (it seems to be a type of majano anemone).
