My advice, and probably the cheapest and easiest way:
Boil some distilled or RO water (whatever you use for your tank), and use a dropper to squirt the hot water at the aiptasias; It will usually kill them.
Otherwise, you could try lemon juice, Joe's Juice, Kalkwasser, or certain inverts (I've only used the hot water method)

Peppermint shrimp will eat them all. I had Aiptasia all over my tank, dropped in some Peps (at the advice of the people on here) and within days all my Aiptasia was gone.

I got 3 pep shrimp, and ALL my aptasia was gone the next day. :jumping: There were 5 or 6 small ones growing, and the peps found them all!!!

You could also buy A Copperband butterfly fish. They love Aipstasia.

Yes, but once it is gone they will either DIE of starvation, or eat corals/polyps. Not a good choice in fishor solution to an aiptasia issue.
I have a 90 gallon and I have 2 cleaners and 5 peppermints. they keep it all nice and clean. I had aiptasia for about a week , but I have never seen any in 6 months since I added my peppermints.
Also, if you have time and the aiptasia is not "that bad" try joes juice. I used it in m 55 and it took care of the aips, before they got bad.
