I've had great success simply siphoning them out. It won't "eliminate" them. But I can get rid of each one that I can get to.

I put an 18" long piece of 3/8" rigid tube into a 4-5' length of 3/8" hose.

On the end of the hose I tie-strap a fine filter bag and put that in my sump.

Then, I take the rigid tube end and put it up to one of my Maxi-Jets that are running in my main tank to start the flow of water.

Then, put that rigid tube over the aiptasia (all the way down to the rock). The aiptasia will get stressed from all that flow and simply, let go (may take a few seconds). It will go through the tubing and into the filter bag.

I keep going until I get everyone out. After a few times, now, I only have to do that every few months.

It has been the best way I've come up with to get rid of them.
