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
