I agree with Fishfanatic. I too have had great results with Copperbands for eradicating aptasia. But be prepared to have foods to feed the Copperband after all the aiptasia are eaten. Many of these fish are known to only eat mysis shrimp. So you'd best have some frozen mysis on hand.

I hear that the copperbanded are great, but feeding them after is the biggest problem & usually end up starving to death. Whereas the Racoon has a much better chance as it will eat other food.
