Best aiptasia slayer

I'm giving up corals for a while and going fish-only:

I've had aiptasia since Day 1. My CBB did a great job, but I couldn't keep him fed. He's been out of the tank less than a week, and the aiptasias are coming back quickly. I'm looking for an aiptasia hunter with no mercy. I want to never think about aiptasia again.

I'm leaning toward an "easy" "peaceful" butterfly - Raccoon or Auriga.

I've always wanted large angelfish, and have heard they will eat aiptasia, but my tank is only 90g.

I'd really like to keep my large green bubble tip anemone. I have two fairly large perc clowns that host in the nem - any chance they could stave off attack from a Raccoon or Auriga? Any chance these butterflies will ignore the nem entirely?

What say you?
 
Racoon butterfly, either Red Sea or Indonesian will take care of them, but not coral safe.
