I have a major problem with aiptasia! I'm going to try both the lemon juice and boiling water tonight.. I'll post here on how the boiling water works out.. lol.. I figure I'll suck them all off with a turkey baster and that'll solve it 
If not, time to cut them off!!! lol..

Don't cut them, they will come back even stronger, you are just fragging it, sort of. Boiling RO water, needle and syringe, and a turkey baster. It is easier if the rock is in a smaller container with water, if you have more rocks, just do one at a time.

Hey Princess...
Never really knew a proper scientific name but it is a Red Macro. Try google for a scientific.
If it is not taking over, and most importantly if you like it then thats good enough to keep it.
And Thank you for the Pm, best time to reach me is really any time, I always have the phone on me but coincidentaly never aswer it as I seemlingly live at work. I will give you a ring in the next day or two and really give you my full attention.
Thanks for the patience. LOL
