The only one I ever had was within mm of the flesh of a LPS. I had to physically scrape it off.

When we started my husband's 20 long - he had some. We got 3 peppermint shrimp and it was "bye-bye" aptasia.  he did try some Joe's juice on them - but we had better luck with the peppermints as they also kept it from coming back if we missed any with the juice.

Haven't had any since.

I had a bunch shortly after starting my tank and used 3 peppermint shrimp as well.  It took quite a while before they were all gone but I haven't seen one in ages.

Peppermint shrimp from Pat cured me of mine overnight!

Straight white vinegar in a syringe sprayed right into the mouth of the aptaisia. They just dissolve instantly. Adios aptaisia, on the spot. Just be sure to do it in small amounts as too much vinegar would affect your PH by making the water more acidic.

I had a bit once, I didn't use any of the recomended ways of getting rid of it -  I mangled it with some tweezers then siphoned it out of the tank.  I'm lucky it didn't come back though, and if I had to do it again I'd use a more fail-safe method.

Old Method
Joe's Juice

New Method ( Last three weeks )
Joe's Juice on the large ones
and backed it up with 3 X Peppermint shrimps
My tanks a lot better now

"Others" for PS

peppermint shrimp are great, but boiled water in a syringe blasted right @ the polyp works beautifully too.

Got a batch of live rock from someone who had a really big aiptasia problem. I placed the rock in my QT with 3 new peppermint shrimp.  It took less than 2 days for all of the aiptasia to disappear.

As you know, aiptasia never really goes away, it's just that you no longer see it. That's OK because the aiptasia control crew is going in the tank with the rock.
