Peppermint shrimp are known to eat aiptasia. You can also try a product called Joe's Juice or Kalkwasser. You'll need to inject the aptasia with either of these products. You might also try boiling water, and injecting that into them.

Ditto. Also, check your water quality. I think they are a result of poor water quality. The Lfs has some BIG ones in thier show tank...we had a good laugh.

get a syringe (they sell them at drug stores and walmart, you might need to ask for them, just tell them what you want them for), mix water with kalk and inject the aptasia. I don't know how much Kalk though...

I have 15 Aptasia in my tank, They killed one small fish in 5 months, i used huge and i mean huge amounts of kalkwasser mix for three weeks, it caused the ph to go nuts up to about 9 or more, the Aptasia retracted into the rock and started to die, but it was so hard on everything else in the tank that i had to stop, i decided to just leave them be until i get a few Copper Banded butterfly fish, that a want really badly anyways, Aptasia is thier favorite food. If i was going to try anyother way and im not sure if it will work is to take the rock it is living in out and put it in a container with saltwater and grind out the aptasia then rinse the the rock with fresh saltwater several times and Quarantine the rock in a separate tank for a few weeks, untill you know it wont come back.
