Aiptasia Killer Experiment

[Seriak]

Anyone ever tried the following to kill Aiptasia or see any drawbacks to it other then the ones mentioned?

1) Pull rock out of tank (This may or may not be an option for some)
2) Place rock on towel (Over container of some sort)
3) Pour vinegar over the rock where the aiptasia is for 30 seconds or so.
4) Place rock back in tank

I have done this twice now and I have yet to see the aiptasia return. Any corals attached to the rock seem to be fine with being out of the tank for 30 seconds as long as they are not hit by the vinegar. I lose a few pods or mini feathers in the surrounding area, but if the aiptasia doesn't come back then I think that is a good trade off.

I have tried the injection method, peppermints, etc but everything was maybe it will work maybe it won't. This seems to work everytime if you can get the piece of rock out of your system.

What do you guys think?
