Use a syringe, you have to actually inject him. If you can't get him in the top, try and get him in the stalk/stem.

-oh so i'm pretty much wasting my time if i'm not injecting him right? about the kalk tho how does that work?

You must inject the lemonjuice into the stalk or it won't work.

With kalk what you do is mix it up into a thick paste and either smother it with it, or you can again inject it into the stalk.

A third method would be epoxying or glueing over the aptasia, assuming you have very few of them.

Kalk works the best for me.
