I just tried this and maybe because I don't have a proper applicator but I feel like this was perhaps the most dangerous thing I've ever done with my reefs.
First I tried a little plastic target feeding baster (not a full size turkey baster) as soon as I collected the water it shot back out. Yes it was hot, but I was prepared for that. I wasn't prepared for the boiling water to shoot back out. I tried a full sized turkey baster and it also shot back out. Then I tried a 5ml hard plastic syringe from a salifert test kit. It held the water fine but didn't get much reaction from aiptasia. Not sure if the water just didn't stay hot enough or it wasn't enough.
Additionally a small amount of water cools really fast so this is going to require constantly going back to your heat source then to your tank. Obviously this has worked for some people but I'm just going to stick with aiptasia x and other chemical methods, far less troublesome imo.
