I found injecting them with ph up works pretty good.

Pepperment Shrimps to get rid of them and to control them.

Copperband Butterfly works really well in my experience.

I put in 3 Berghia nudibranchs to never see them again, used Aiptasia X but you can'nt get all of them cause they under and between the live rock. Then put in 4 pepperment shrimps in which did the trick for me. No more aiptasia. I notice the odd one popping up, but gone in a few days.
