Final Riddance of Aptasia
This might seem extreme, but if you find one or two of these little buggers, here is a cure. No Shrimp, no Juice, chemicals or otherwise.
I went do Canadian Tire and bought a mini tiger torch. (The ones that have a small blue flame about 1-2" in length. I took the rock with the offending coral and torched the crap out of the one small cavern that it was in. Not a sign of it is left. And as far as regrowth is concerned, nothing grows from carbon >  Now, before someone says nay about this. I can tell you I have 2 of these one a rock COVERED in zoo's. I lost no zoos. Because the flame from this torch is very precise, it just cooked the aptasia. REALLY RECOMMENDED.

Were you an American soldier with his napalm flamethrower in a previous life?
I've thought of doing the same but never bothered. Glad someone tried it & posted their positive results. Anthony

Wear gloves, eye and a thick jacket if your going to be doing this on a regular basis. I don't know if you've ever seen what happens when you heat rock, concrete or anything pouros just a little too much.
BOOM!!! The rock being wet makes this happen even faster and with more intensity. Very minimum........ Protect your eyes! (The other shrapnel wounds will make for a great story.)
