Default effective way to kill aiptasia (now with moar lasers!)

So with more room to have a look at my pre-established rocks I had been finding a few small buggers in addition to the large 3 or 4 I have known about for months (and did nothing about because they were not easily gotten to).

1. grab a wooden bbq skewer
2. remove top of your bottle of crazy glue
3. DIP and coat the first inch of your skewer
4. sneak up on pest and lay the skewer across it and twist the skewer

The glue forms a skin so my first few attempts were fails. Then I found that continuing to rotate the thing does a great job of breaking that skin and coats the vermin. I've killed 6 this way including two that were far underneath a colony's 'umbrella'. With this technique access just means a hole or gap you can horizontally insert your skewer.

Only have 1 left and it's moved within the rockwork and lived thru three 2-part epoxy attacks. It's glue time!
