water in microwave for 2 min...push the syringe slowly towards the center...push hard and shoot the boiling water in em. I had 10+ aiptasia on one rock that were each about 2 inches long. Worked better than joes, aiptasia stop, pep shrimp

use kalkwasser and a syringe from a saliferet test.

Squirt that crap right into their center.

I cured my aptasia problem with a Raccoon B'fly and 4 Peppermint shrimp - in a 110g tank - the aptasia had vanished within 3 weeks, but it depends on what you currently have in the tank and if these guys are compatible.... My RB was a great addition - relatively cheap, hardy, colorful, always out and visible, and left my corals alone.
