I've heard a long time ago that camels are the ones that ate aptasias but now I hear pepermints. So which one is it?

Peppermints. You probably don't want to put camels in your reef tank;-) Although there are two different kinds of peppermint shrimp - I understand that one variety is more likely to eat aiptasia. I'm sure somebody here can explain the difference in the two.

Yeah peppermint shrimps are good and so are copper banded butterfly. However I hear camels will eat all sorts of stuff like mushrooms to aptasia so you might not want them in your tank.
