I'm sure their has been 100's of these post. I can't get rid of these guys. Ive tried shrimp, copperbanded butterfly, Joe's juice, injecting kalk, and all those stop aptasia products and they just keep coming. Any suggestions would be great. Shrimp and butterfly dont touch them

Remove or switch the live rock, and blast it with a water hose. I did it a few times and it works well. JD

Do you have a separate tank like a QT?If you do get 3 peppermint shrimp and put the rocks with aip on them in the QT with the shrimp. The shrimp will ignore aip if they have plentiful other food to eat.

buying some Berghia got rid of mine for ever, only bad thing is they die without food at the end.

If you use a calcium suppliment ( best if powdered based ) mix a bit of the powder with some RO water into a thick paste. Then use a medicine syringe, suck up the paste into the syringe and then squirt the paste onto the aiptasia and they simply melt before yor eyes. I've used this method with great effect.;)
