In smaller tanks (60g or less) peppermint shrimp have 100% worked for me, in my larger tanks matted filefish (takes them awhile but usually within a couple of months will get rid of it) and CBB's got rid of the aiptasia. However if the shrimp/filefish or CBB dies the aiptasia starts to come back within a few weeks to a month.
