The recipe I use with great success is 1 tsp of calcium hydroxide mixed with 2 tbls of tap water mixed together and then boiled in the microwave for 30 sec. Use a plastic syringe to squirt a bit at the mouth of the aiptasia and they draw it in and disappear for good. It took me about a week to get rid of a really bad infestation in a 72g tank and after 2 years they never came back.

Not sure if it will work long term or not, but I have covered Aiptasia with reef epoxy, including filling the hole. I have tried the other products, but have had the aiptasia come back on me.
