+1 You can pluck them by hand too...they come right up and not retract like aiptasia.
When I try to pluck them out with tweezers they retract

Will the Aiptasia X work? And do you know if they're as much of a nuisance as Aiptasias are?

Mine retract.
They never seem to act like appies at first... slow growers, then sometimes BOOM! You are loaded with them. I saw a tank that had nothing but 1000s and 1000s of these guys.
Whatever one would use for regular appies can be tried with these guys.

+1 on killing with the same stuff...but mine had stalks like xenia and can move around...when I first got into saltwater I thought these guys were good (pre SWF.com) and tried to keep them.
I accidently bumped one and it came off...I could pluck them with my fingers, not tweezers, and the bottom would actually suck until it found a rock to reattach itself to. I admit I wasn't trying to get them off until they were a good size. Aiptasia no matter how large, completely withdraws into a rock.

Yeah, they're starting to get out of hand and before they take over my new tank I want to try to at least kill some.

If you can take the rock out of the tank, drop some table salt on them and they will fall off the rock. Then you can do what you want to with them.
