I find peppermint shrimps to be a very effective method of irraticating these buggers. I never had any real sucess with just a few shrimps. The trick is to get like a dozen or more and it will almost be certain to clean it out.
I have 6 peppermint shrimp and I think they are keeping the baby aiptasia population down but nothing is touching the juvenile/adult population. I figured if the copperband could severly damage the larger ones the peppermint shrimp could come and clean up the mess.

Even if the CBB never eats aiptasia he is a very cool fish with lots of fishy personality and will be a great addition to the main display when he finally makes it there
