Way to go Adam.... I believe you just set the record for most options in a poll...
 Filefish worked to a degree for me.... He also worked on most of my LPS

I tried Aiptasia-X ... I swear it was counter productive.
I had approx 1000 aiptasia in my tank about 1 week ago. Today I see maybe 100 ... All I did was add a 4" Copperband. I guess I was one of the lucky one, this guy doesn't stop eating them all day. I can see him plucking them off the rocks and outta the sand at all times throughout the day. I can't call it a success just yet ... maybe he'll get sick of them, maybe they'll mount a come back, but it has been a very dramatic reduction in a very short period of time. --Tyler

 Overall though, I think keeping a nutrient free tank goes a long way in avoiding these pests.
