What is the best way to get rid of Aiptasia (Glass Anemones)?

I have two Glass Anemones in my 75 Gallon tank. I have tried to get rid of them in various ways, but they keep coming back. I have tried many ways that will even damage the life on my live rock. I’ve gotten to a point where I removed the infected LR from my tank into another salt bucket and tried to cut the anemone out and then rinsed the rock and burn the area with a lighter. I made sure no anemone fragments were on the rock, so it wouldn’t reproduce. Both Anemones have re-grown, but I haven’t had any new glass anemones appear in my tank.
What method do you recommend to remove Glass Anemones? Do any of you have specific product names? I’m looking for every option possible (other than throwing the LR away).

Joe’s juice works great!! I killed the evil little stinger and it has been 3 months, it is gone!! I keep a watch on that spot though, just in case.

I mix aiptasia stop and kalkwasser mix make a paste and shoot in right into the disc and they don't come back or super glue if it's in a place in your tank by it's self.
