i had one fair sized aiptasia, so i shot it with joe's juice, and a week later, i had 3 smaller aiptasia in the same spot..

i HAVE head of people just using some sort of epoxy, silicone, or something along those lines on the aiptasia... i think they "scared" it into hiding, and while it was deep in the crevice, covered the hole with the stuff, and it would prevent the aiptasia from showing up again...and eventually, the silicone would be covered up by coralline and you can't tell its there....

now, this has been a while, so i don't know if that's EXACTLY how it works, or if it works at all.... that's just what i remember
