    get a syringe shoot buring hot ro water at its foot, it lets goo then scope it out.
    or you could try injecting lemon juice.
    or covering with kalkwasser paste

    I have had great success with kalk paste in a syringe, and injecting the buggers.

    The peppermint shrimp sure worked for me. I had a pretty bad bloom of Aiptasia, like one every 1-2inches everywhere. I bought some joe's juice and kalk and injected the big ones at the same time I bought my peppermint shrimp. The shrimp took about a month and a half but killed the rest and i haven't had more than one or two aiptasia since then. Good luck
