slighly quicker way is sufficate it with coral glue or apoxy

Personally I'd take the rock out and dig /smash around the aptaisia area completely removing it and any signs of it from the rock. Actually though, if it was me I would not even use the rock, it's a plague that may take years to get a foot hold but if it ever does you'll under stand. I see a few in your picture which means they can and probable are hiding every where in the rock.

I use lemon juice in a syringe. The insulin syringes from a pharmacy work well. I haven't had one since my tank first started up.

Cheapest and easiest.....go to Canadian Tire, head to paint department and buy a 9 dollar bottle of Muriatic Acid. The stuff works awesome.

if you're looking for fish suggestions for your FOWLR, could consider a tile fish. Not that big, little strange looking, follow you around the tank plus eat aptasia.

You have a scientific name for the tilefish?

I wouldn't try to dig or cut it. Any small part/fragment (especially the foot) can grow into a whole new anemone. I use a kalkwasser paste and inject it directly into the anemone with a hypodermic (insulin) needle. Works everytime, and works great!

+1 for lemon juice in a syringe, sometime I even microwave it for a bit so it's nice and hot for those little buggers
