Post Aiptasia, how I'm takin' out the trash

Well I found a very good way to get rid of the pesky Aiptisia in my tank (without removing rock). I was brainstorming on how i could get rid of the pest when i though, suck em out, baster didn't work so i looked around and found an old syringe that was used for blowing the debris out of my sockets after my wisdom teeth had been taken out. The syringe is about 5" long plastic and has a curved end and says on it Patterson Brand CE 0123. All i did with this syringe was very slightly cut the end on it (to make the hole slightly larger) tried to quickly place it in the mouth of the Aiptisia and draw it, if i didn't get the whole thing on the first try I moved it around and scraped the rock with it, removing all of the Aiptisia and the debris it secreats. This has worked wonders, I HIGHLY recomend trying it.

Thanks for your time.
