I was considering removing each piece and boiling it in a big pot to sterilize it. I understand that it would kill all the good stuff but that is a price I am willing to pay to get rid of the aptasia.

Anyone have any better ideas?

I did a lot og googling on this last month when my tank cracked and all my live rock got "deaded". I am NOT recommending this, but I Found this thread interesting... It's about bleaching rock.
