Boiling water injected into them works great.

If you need a syringe, just pm me and you can stop by and grab one from me when you're in the area.

If you use Joe's juice you have to use it properly. To many people just point the syringe at the Aiptasia and blast away. A couple of days later the little sucker is back.
Turn off all of your pumps so there is no water movement. Then slowly drip Joe's over the Aiptasia so that they don't close up. You can actually see them start to ingest the stuff.
When they get a good mouthfull they will close up right away but by then it's too late.
I've done it this way a bunch of times with 100% success.

Thanks for the helpful tips everyone. I wonder if the heat from the hot water will be enough to 'cook' them off. I used a syringe early this morning but because I didn't have a needle for it I just basted the hot water over the rock surface where I had seen the aptaisia. By the time I put the rock back in the tank it was hot to the touch and I haven't yet seen any aptaisia on the treated surface...

Hopefully that did the trick.
If it doesn't though, I may try feeding joe's juice to them as was described. It sounds kind of fun to do it that way...
