So i have about 2 or 3 larger sized aispista atatched to a rock with soft coral on it. .what would be the safest way to get ride of these lilttle suckers. Ive hear many thing but would like to see what the reef community says thank.
 
If you can remove the rock, I agree with the above. If not, boiling water and a syringe is good or Aiptasia X. Just make sure the aiptasia gets the boiling water or Aiptasia X into it's mouth and doesn't close up first.
 
Kalk paste is the only thing I've had 100% success with. Peppermint shrimp inevitably will get bored with them, and kalk paste/hot water seems to promote the spawning/pedal laceration spread method they use. A nice thick smother of kalk paste seems to kill every trace of tissue as well as the spores they release
 
I had a small one come in a piece on liverock. Boiling water did the trick and then I brushed the remaining with a tooth brush then hit it with boiling water again. All this can be done in a few mins then put the rock back in.
