Default Aptasia and shrimp

First, I have a small colony of brown, flowery looking things starting on my live rock, I think might be aptasia. They are small now, so I can't really get a good photo of them, but from what I've seen and read, it sounds like the nasty aptasia I just recently added a rock with red mushrooms on it, so I assume that's where these guys cames from, but they are quite some distance from the new rock. Feel free to chime in about if this sounds like aptasia...
Second, I need to get rid of it, assuming it is aptasia, so, from what I've read, the chemical solutions on live rock, aren't too good (as you kill everything else on the rock too), or else they just aren't all that effective. I understand that just removing the rock, scrubbing the stuff off doesn't work as it just leaves more little ones to grow. Only other options I've heard are angel fish and peppermint shrimp. My peppermint shrimp met his demise a couple weeks ago and I don't have an angel. I was thinking of getting a peppermint shrimp again, but then read they can go after coral (polyps). Is this true? What angel fish would be best? It'd have to be a dwarf, but was considering getting one anyway...
Third, does anyone have any other suggestions to get rid of this?
Help?
Thanks!
