Aiptasias are tough to remove but it is possible. BRS has a good article here on natural predators.

Although companies sell chemicals to kill them or even lasers.

Best bet is pull out the rock and kill it with a flame thrower then toss rock in trash.
Your other option is boiling hot vinegar injected downs its mouth. 2x daily over and over again.
That question has a million threads. You will get 100 other ideas here.

take the rock out and maybe chisel that chunk out and toss it.

Peppermint Shrimp irradiated my aphasia. There are several other animals that will eat. My LFS grows it for food.....

They aren't so scary.

The trouble with "natural predators" is that anything that eats aiptasia is likely to try and eat corals too. The only exception is the nudibranch but those are expensive and never live long. So many things will eat them and they usually starve in a tank that isn't already infested. You could spend a bunch of money on them, have them eat that polyp, and then it comes back somewhere else after they starved.
