what is a good way to get rid of these guys. i did a bleach bath on some rock that was taken over by the aiptasia.
now i only have a few left but am worried it will spread like a plague just waiting to happen all over again.

I had really good luck with the aptasia nudis.

Kleini Butterfly. pretty fish, great eater and will wipe out aptasia.

I have lots of wrasses they left them alone. I forgot the exact site I got them from but it’s the one everyone uses here.

It didn’t happen over night but I’d say within 30 days my 300 reef was clean of aptasia.
