You're going to want to get rid of those as quickly as possible.

syringe and lemon juice will nuke em'! I used the bottled lemon juice from grocery store..worked like a charm
inject each one a few times
or buy a couple peppermint shrimp...they think they are tasty treats

They really dont do anything in your tank, i have seen some people attempt to rid their tank of aiptasia only to end up making it worse.
Its probably best to just leave them alone for the time being and deal with it later. I have used the peppermint shrimp in my 120gal tank and for $30 i got 5 of those guys and now it is not a problem, i never see them because they hide in the rocks but they work at night riding my tank of aiptasia.

AIPTASIA!!!! I've got a couple that look exactly like yours, same size and everything...people say to inject them with lemon juice or boiling water but the ones i have are just too small to get a syringe into. i think i'm just going to wait till they get a little bigger before i ERRADICATE them from my tank!!!!!
