Best Method for Aiptasia Removal

[Jesshika]

Update

After curing the rock and washing out the live sand too I finally re-setup the tank and added new rock and sand to re-seed the dead rock. And here is an updated picture of the tank after being one month old and so far no aiptasia! Only a couple that I used Aiptasia removal stuff on. There is some green coraline algae growing on the rock that I did the FW dip on and theres also some growing on the glass. The other new rocks are just growing more purple coraline. Will purple eventually grow back on the dead rock or does green grow first?

I had a literal one aiptasia that was not dying. I added 3 peppermint shrimp today hoping that they'd destroy the one I had and prevent any additional ones if they sprouted up where I couldn't see them and the one aiptasia was gone before I woke up this morning. So, that is my thoughts about best method of removal haha.

I like the rock and your rock setup.

My peppermint shrimp didn't touch my aiptasia. I used a "reef safe" removal chemical in a QT tank. After 24 hours, it was all gone, so I put the live rock back in my tank and all is good now. It didn't kill any of my rock either, still nice and green.

That looks like a juvenile emperor angelfish. Very beautiful fish, but when they get older they get more color and the stripes straighten out more
