I think I will just try to change my attitude towards aptasia. It seems like it is just something that I will have to occasionally deal with and shouldn't stress about it. I don't think my tank is big enough for most options (60 gallons) and if it gets out of hand I will look into nudibranches or something. Maybe I'll try another peppermint shrimp.
Thanks everyone.

The issue is that you can kill every single aiptasia anemone you see, but there will be many more in cracks, crevices and such that you just can't get with a laser or syringe.
Every aiptasia infestation is different, some worse and some fairly benign.
You should look at getting a couple of peppermint shrimp, then focus on doing as much manual removal as you can with whatever method you like.
eventually, you will win the war.
