baby aiptasia
 
just noticed 3 of them on a new piece of LR, only like a millimeter big or so.
best way of getting rid of them at this stage since cant really stab them witha needle yet. just wait till they get bigger?

if u really want , u can get Berghia Nudibranch

If the rock is removable, take it out, turn it upside down and torch them with a bic lighter, until crispy.

Another option that worked for me is peppermint shrimp. Some eat them, some don't.

I had a peppermint shrimp for all of 10 minutes in my tank. The 2 wrasses had a feeding frenzy with it. Thanks for the $30 entree! I don't even eat that well, LOL.

make a thick kalkwasser paste and cover them in the morning-do not use berghia as they would starve in a week

I've never used kalkwasser but I'm curious how you put it under water without it disintegrating before you can make your attack? is it in a syringe? I've got 3 massive ones that need attention.

The only success I've had was keeping a copperband butterfly fish. The other method I tried, ie kalkwasser paste and such only seemed to spread the problem.

Super glue the bastards , take as tube of the gel glue and cover them compleatly , or you can use a blob of epoxy putty to smother them too. The putty works well for bigger ones .
