I voted Joe's Juice, although I also have peppermints that work well. The problem is that they are buttheads and attack anything that resembles aiptasia, including certain corals and featherdusters.

I mix up a little calcium and water in a cup use a syringe to inject right on the nasty buggers bam they are dead.
