    When I had one I heated up the lemon juice and put in it a syringe, then shot the aiptasia and it was gone.

    Peppermint shrimp would just be expensive food in a sting ray tank.

    If you have kalk on hand mix up some thick paste and cover them with it.

    I started with lemon juice and it did kill them, but I do find the joes juice more affective. With the lemon juice or boiling water you need a syringe and you have to literally inject it into the sucker. With joes juice you feed the nem with it. For some reason they will eat it right up and you can watch them melt like cotton candy...ooo so pleasing :p
