Aiptasia's are really hard to try and get rid of manually. I used to take a needle and inject them with ph down at the base and then into the head. An easier way to do it is to buy some peppermint shrimp. They'll get rid of them really fast and they wont harm your corals either. Since i bought one i haven't had any problems with aiptasia's since.

I inject it with calcium from a syringe. Make sure you point it at its center before squirting it. Is probably stronger than joe juice, and cheaper. It always worked for me.

I highly recommend Joe's Juice and have had a lot of success with it.
