From what I hear / read, aptasia can't be killed by light deprivation. It needs to be controlled by a predator, killed manually or I'll need to nuke my rock and start over with dead rock and re-seed with new clean live rock.

I'm not a big fan of the predator route, they comes back once the predator has been removed, the tank to too big to remove manually. ( at least at this point in my busy life ) so I may chuck the rock in the snow for a month.. lol
