If you already have a copperband, I would just wait for him to polish off some of the worms. Eventually he is bound to move on to your troublesome anemones.

Joes juice or some kalk paste would work as well, but your looking at a few hours of hard work to clean out a 95g tank, and even then the aiptasia will likely bounce back.

My copperbanded did as follows, polished off the feather dusters= two weeks, polished all aptasia the next two weeks, every one of them, hes a aptasia eating machine, my friend has bought 6 though half died or got sucked into a power head, half wont eat aptasia. Some will never eat them, see if the LFS will swap it for another if all dosn't work out. Mine eats mysis now, supposedly hard to get to happen. I would say give him a couple weeks!

I had great success with a pair of peppermint shrimp.
