+1 on the peppermint shrimp, I did not have that many but three days after adding the shrimp all the aiptasia was gone.

Sorry to hear this. Peppermint shrimp did the trick for me. If you decide to go this rout make sure they're from the gulf of mexico. Get a couple that way there is some competition for your and some are still hungry enough to eat the aiptasia.
 
Super glue it while it's in the hole. Kills it every time
+1 This is easy and cheap. I have done it, then after several days you can pop the glue off.
I also have done a syringe with lemon juice. Time consuming but very full filling, especially when frustrated.

I never had any luck with anything but pep. shrimp. Boiling water, it would be badly burned but healed in a day or two. Sucked it into a syringe filled with lemon juice (I had no needles) and aside from almost screwing up my tank params That did no long term damage. superglue, it would pop out another hole.. nice porous rock and all y'know -.-. I bought one peppermint shrimp because I had read about it, and honestly, I had wanted one before anyway. Little bugger ate the aiptasia in a few days time :). He was also dead in a few months time though, never did figure out what happened to him, he was just gone one day *shrug*. I think I'll try the nudibrach if I have any trouble with them in my new tank though
