I've also done this, with a weaker solution. Its the only thing that worked for me out of all the commercial solutions and the aiptasia zapper thingy. Eventually my filefish started to eat them but he wouldn't eat any of the larger ones so I had assist in getting rid of those ones.

I used vinegar to kill them,100% safe don't like to try dangerous chemicals in my tank,one small mistake and you can kill a lot of stuff..i just have a seringe and just blast the vinegar right in the mouth of the aptasia,some of them die at the first shoot some require another one but i kill all of them,had about 10 small ones and 4 huge ones..also all the extra vinegar it just act as extra carbon for the bacteria...
