The rock and the Aiptasia is now sitting in a pot of boiling water. I will boil this for a few minutes and hopefully this will kill everything on the rock....

smart move .....there are better filter feeders to have then aiptasia.....take it from me i had 300 large heads and god knows how many small ones in a 33 gallon.once they become to large to control the only way to get them is by something that feeds on them.peppermints only eat the small ones and some dont eat at all.file fish and butterflys are good but can nip or even eat corals ...so not reef safe.
nudis are slow and quite expensive and high maintanance.
with any kind of kalk mix or joes juice or aiptasia x its good for ones you can see and reach but for the uber small ones and ones not reachable.....useless
^ same for lemon and lime juice and boiling water...cant kill what you cant see
matted filefish has been my best weapon but if you only have one then dont worry about it and just kill it
