Can you easily remove rock? If so get out of water and superglue, water will set and bye bye aiptasia no chance of reproducing.

I can remove the polyps pretty easily they have been trying to move off of the rock. Will this do?

That's fine. A few minutes out of water won't hurt. Aiptasia will look like blobs, totally cover in superglue and place back, the water sets the glue upon contact. Safe and effective.

That was my thought when I first looked at the pic is they are palys. Apstasia don't form clusters like that. Also Asptasia don't really need much light so if you are seeing polyps extend when the lights on its tells me its most likely coral (palys)
