When people say success is that means permanent? Example matted filefish is present the aiptasia is no where in sight. If filefish is gone and aiptasia came back that mean it not a successful. Aiptasia spreads when they died.

I used aiptasia x it worked and rid my system completely
However you need to be persistent everyday if one pops up during the weeks following the first time you use it on all of the aiptasia in your tank. After about 1 to 2 months I no longer saw any more spawn up in random places. So you really have to tackle it for a while before you ate completely free of aiptasia

I only tried Aiptasia X once on about 4 different aiptasia. At first I thought I was successful, as I did not see them for a couple days. But then they came back, in the exact same spot. So, I just came to the conclusion that it doesn't work, and didn't try a 2nd treatment. Maybe I was too hasty with that?...

I tried Aiptasia X and even lemon juice but they were both very time consuming AND you won't ever get 100% of them.
matted filefish loved to eat them!! but he also loved to eat my sea cucumber and nip at corals. best success came from throwing a few peppermint in the tank! ...they ripped up them aptasias!! I loved watching them tear it up
