I have tried:
Kalk paste - works well for the small one on flat and accessible surface. Makes a mess on vertical surface and doesn't cover the entire aptasia, so they usually come back. and I can't really use it in the area packed with corals.
Crazy glue - work well if you can take the piece out of the water, and cover then entire aptasia.
Razor and tooth brush - work well out of the tank, but, have to rinse it really well, to make sure no living tissue get back on the rock.
Copper band butterfly - have to make sure they live first, I have tried 3 copper band already, first two last only few days. 3rd one?? have it close to 2 months now, alive and fat(for a copper band). Had a infestation of soft tube feather duster, which it clean out and that's probably what kept it alive. It doesn't even touch aptasia, thinking maybe because it's afraid to get caught by my loonie size aptasia and eaten by it instead. But its starting to pick on frozen food at least.
