What is the best and easiest way to rid my tank of Aiptasia?

I found some aiptasia on some new live rock about a week ago. I promptly bought a peppermint shrimp. It took him two days, but he found it and took care of it. I'm convinced that peppermint shrimp are the way to go. And in addition, I think they add a bit of comedy to the tank.

Once you have it in your tank, it is very hard to get rid of, no matter what measures you take. But it can be controlled. Not all forms of peppermint shrimp will eat it. The best and easiest way as mentioned is Joe's Juice.

peppermint shrimp worked for me but i once got some live rock with some larger ones on it and the peppermint shrimp would not tackle them so i injected lemon juice and that worked first time with no problem and hardly no cost!!

Has anyone used the Berghia nudibranch?

This is a website about them, I wonder if they create problems?

Joes Juice all the way! Great product and isn't expensive!

I bought a colony of zoos that I later found had 4 aiptasia on it. I was able to remove all of them with tweezers. Haven't seen them since (been 6mos now). Have to make sure you get all of it though. I've read that berghia are good.
