That has worked for me too but can't be done in tight spaces sometimes. Luckilly my glue killed the hard-to-get ones. I'll be a little more generous with my epoxy and add a dab of glue to it as well lol.

My tank was totally infested with hundreds of aiptasia,... everywhere.... I got a Copperband, but he wouldn't touch them. Then I got a couple Pearlscales, and after a few weeks, they started to pick at them.

Three months later, you couldn't find any aiptasia in my tank. And what's great also, the Pearlscales taught the Copperband to eat them, too, and he started hunting them as well, and helped clean them out of the deeper holes with his longer beak.
