I was having the same problem some would die some wouldn't but this weekend I bought a copperband butterfly and the first night he ate the worst one, and he's leaving my corals alone.

I have had success using a 1 ml syringe and injecting them with calcium chloride (a calcium supplement, Kent Liquid Calcium to be exact). For small ones, I inject at least 2 mls into the aiptasia from various angles once they close up and hide in their holes. If I don't get them the first time, I just go back at it when they are large enough to get the syringe into them.
I used to inject vinegar, but I noticed a change in pH, even in our 120g. A few mls of calcium chloride doesn't affect pH, and it will not increase Ca levels very much unless the tank is quite small.

I agree, the peppermint shrimp worked really well for me. A copper banded butterfly is supposed to work too.
