The rock and the Aiptasia is now sitting in a pot of boiling water. I will boil this for a few minutes and hopefully this will kill everything on the rock....

Boiling zoas is a bad idea! Read the first stickied post in the forums. Whether it's true or not there have been reports of at least one person getting brutally ill from inhaling the airborne toxin from boiling a zoa colony. Not all will contain it, but it's not worth the risk.
Aiptasia are not worth having around... those little pineapple sponges are great though. My sump has plenty of those.
