I have had succes in the past with making kalk paste and inserting it directly into the mouth.

This is my home made recipe: http://thereefuge.com/threads/home-made-aiptasia-killing-solution-that-works.14956/#post-183507

Lemon juice alone never worked for me.

I read some where that is they are bad on a rock take it out and put in bleach solution, is this ok to do,wouldn't it kill the rock?

 

[Franklin Dattein]

It is an valid option, with pros and cons. It will kill everything in the rock, including the Apitasia, but rock will be colonised again.
Don't do it on too much rock at the same time and be careful to use protection, mainly if the rock has zoas.
