Thinking, could mold some tin foil over where the LR where the aptasia are to block off light and hopefully starve then. Yes, would be unsightly but only try it for a short period. Probably need a week or two (how long can aptasia last without light, how long does it take to ship LR as survives that?).

Pepermint shrimp have always worked for me
