My vote:
Peppermint shrimp - success (they don't all eat Aiptasia, so adding a few from different sources works better) Joe's Juice - success Matted Filefish - success Kalk paste - success (just killed a few a couple days ago)

I found it pretty easy to control them in my smaller tanks but once I stepped up to a larger tank it became much more difficult. Manual control was impossible, even with what I considered to be minimal aquascape I just couldn't reach everything.
Matted File Fish solved the problem for me but I went through three of them before I found one that would tackle the. It still took several months for him to start eating them. You have to be patient. Regards

Alot of stores cant really tell the difference from peppermint shrimps and camelback shrimps. Those with no success with the peppermints might want to take that in consideration. But I voted copperband butterfly for aptasia.
