it worked. you use copper absorbant in the tank to take up any copper that leached out. we just made sure that the wire did not touch anything else. the biggest problem was keeping track of the different tiny strands of wire.
The peppermint shrimp I put in on Thursday of last week have taken care of my Aiptasia, at least the one that I have seen in the tank. I am very happy with that solution!
I use Joe's Juice. It's very efective, doesn't harm corals and it's effect is immediate. By the amount I sell, other's experiences are the same. It's reef safe, too.

oh yeah the good ole Joes Juice. I like this product. If I'm out I use freshly squeezed lemon juice. I inject it right where the pest lives.
Another thing I do, but I'm sure it's not recomended is to nuke the rock in the microwave. I had a small piece of rock that had the pest, but as soon as I took it out of the water I lost where it was. So I just nuked the bastard.
I'm thinking microwaving probably would sterilize the rock...

While the copper wire trick would work (I've done it before in FO tanks), it is not the safest way to go. There are a lot of horror stories of copper remaining in the tank and wiping out other inverts. From what I understand, it doesn't take long for the copper to get into the silicone, rock and other porous surfaces.

True. Not the safest way to go when dealing in hundreds of dollars worth of livestock.

This works but is a pain in the butt because Aptasia do not set still for being injected. Plus they are not always in a spot conducive to injecting.
