I use Kalk paste and a syringe. The kalk won't disrupt your aquarium, but you can easily get the Kalk paste on and in the aptasia and usually kill it in one dose. It works well for me. You can get the syringes at your local drug store like Shoppers.

from my research (which is limited) mechincally removing aptasia (e.g. with a tweezers) is bad idea. It replicated. Slap some lemon juice in a syringe and kill the bugger.

Joe's Juice works fine (I think it's just kalk paste so you could also make your own) for the visible ones. I would consider a couple of peppermint shrimp for your tank. They will eat all the one you can't see. I had a big problem when I first started and was using Joe's Juice for months but they kept coming back. After I put the shrimp in I haven't seen an aiptasia in 2 years.

I like joes juice but rather then using the crappy syregine that comes with it I use a needle and I find it works alot better!
