i used aptaisa control for a few that i had in my tank and only one dose per aptasia and they were gone and never came back... i just turned off all my flow pumps inside the tank to have water movement to a minimun, sneaked up on the aptasia and would instill about 0.5-1.0ml of the medication in the middle... the aptasia will shrink taking the medication in. left the pumps off for a good 30 minutes and that did the trick

i also tried covering the hole with epoxy pudding where the aptasia would retract in to hide and with some it worked with others the aptasia would come out through another hole..

The coolest way to eliminate these was demonstrated years ago by Greenmako. He took the rocks out of the water, heated a phillips head screwdriver with a propane torch and shoved it into the aptasias hole.

Radical but effective!

I've never had a copperband and I've never had good luck with peppermint shrimp. But with the aptaisa control you should have good luck with that for sure. I use it and it kills them instantly.
