In my experience they don't multiply all that quickly.
Meaning I see a new one every month or two and kill it, and they are usually just in my sump.
It'll also close up if you pull the rock out of the water, so you may have a hard time locating it when you do that.

One can also scrape them off surfaces. Scrape at the foot and it will detach and the whole thing will slime off whatever like the snot wad it is. Pretty fast and easy on smoother surfaces such as frag plugs or between zoanthid or palythoa polyps. I use a cheap old paring knife that I also cut chunks of WaterWeld with.
The tide seems to be turning for me in my current war on aiptasia. They are starting to disappear as though they are being consumed by ever increasing numbers of an invertebrate aiptasia predator.

That's a very personal question John. Not any more. I saw a doctor and got a shot, ok? :ape:
Yes, like a month or so ago I made the drive to San Ramon and picked up a bunch. I wanted to make sure I got a breeding population going despite the efficiency and huge appetite of my Melanurus wrasse. I believe I am finally seeing some aiptasia disappear, which is remarkable considering my aiptasia are like the sequoias of aiptasia - large, tall and robust.
