I've been pondering that dilemma, my LFS has a bunch of Aiptasia
problems...which is where I'm sure I got the critters.
Water issues aside, there's a good chance the nudibranch could find it's
way into 4 or 5 other reef's that are currently inoculated with
Aiptasia. It's not a good solution...best one is to setup a 20 gal.
quarantine tank and put my feather dusters in there for a while and then
try to find a friend willing to lend me a Copperbanded or Raccoon
butterfly to act a cleaning crew. Only prob. I've got a pretty agressive
yellow tang that I wouldn't like to stress the CBB with.
Some of the Aiptasia are 1in. in diameter and 3-4in stalks...too big for
the peppermints to attack and then they end up as food for my reef
lobster.
Quite a quandry I've gotten myself into!
thanks for the reply though.

You could always set up a quarantine tank strictly for growing aiptasia,
then when the tank is clean, stick the nudibranch in there...
