I ended up getting some at the LFS. I tested it on one of the aiptasia - covered it in Aiptasia X. 3 days later its fully opened. lol....
Keep it simple . . . .
Using syringe, inject either lemon juice or better yet. . kalkwasser powder mixed with tank water into a paste the consistency of toothpaste and inject into the very center core and it will melt away

Buying some F-Aiptasia from amazon. Hopefully this works a little better. It is crazy how Berghias and manual removal can stop aiptasia. This stuff really is the plague..
I have had many of the normal reef tank issues (cyano, Dinos, bryopsis, planaria, etc). I would gladly deal with any of those again over aiptasia. Due to my wrasse I can’t do shrimp or berghia and I’ve tried several different chemicals and it just seemed to cause them to spread.

We're talking a 13.5 fluval here. Wouldn't constant injection of kalkwasser powder eventually spike my calcium or alk? Also it amazes me that lemon juice would be effective and not harm corals if Aiptasia X doesnt even work to well.

The little you use will have little impact and get consumed by coral. Were talking a drop or two on each one, not a capful
