If you want to stay with natural solution there is a lot out there that will eat aiptasia but often with mixed results. I use peppermint shrimp and they keep my tank free of it but with the shrimp it's hit or miss some will eat aiptasia others will just look at it and often you have to buy 4 or more to be sure you will get at least one that will eat the aiptasia and unfortunately a lot of LFS carry Camel shrimp and pass them off as peppermints and camels do not eat aiptasia at all and I have both types of shrimp in my tank.
