Update, the hot water worked 100%. The only downside to it is it also killed the red coraline algae that was on the infected areas. The very edge of a blasomusa polyp was damaged by the high temp but it looks like it's recovering nicely...
Take that aptaisia!

I use an even more brutal approach. I take the affected rock out of the tank and dip the affected area into boiling water. Yes part of the rock is killed, but so is the Aiptasia. In time the rock recovers. I have used the same approach on rogue Button Polyps, and that plaguelike red macroalgae.
