I have had great success with straight calcium. Just take the tanks regular dose and mix it with as little water as possible to make a liquid. Use a syringe to get it right in the little buggers. It melts them pretty quick, just make sure you have nothing directly beneath or down stream as the calcium with hurt them too. (still have a scar on my orange cap)

Also a copperband butterfly will quite often develop a taste for them and will get rid of the smaller ones pretty quickly although they tend to wreak havok on any ornamental feather dusters that may cross their path as well.

Hope that helps.
Mike

Here's the early results. I shut off the flow, shoved the needle into them and shot them with lemon juice. They didn't like it a bit. They shrunk into the rock I chased them in thrashed around with the needle and gave them more juice. There was a white cloud of juice around the Aiptasia's area for a while so I left the flow off for about 30 min. Turned on the flow. This morning I've seen no evidence of them coming back out. I'm going to move some rock around while the little one is sleeping so should be able to get a good look. Next try is with calcium. I saw a recipe for do it yourself 2 part additives anyone else know where I came across that I'd like to try it out.
