get a syringe with a needlle end a fill it with one ml of lime juice, then stba quickly in the center before it moves back in and in one motion squeeze the lime juice in to it while stabbing. I have never done this but supposedly they puff out a liquid when there dead so it is easy to tell when u get them.

Definitely get a pep. I have found that you need to starve your pep to get them to eat the aptasia. If you keep your pep well fed he will never have the need to eat aptasia. Also I have never had success with syringes (maybe I'm not coordinated enough), and if you have some larger aptasia the peps will not touch them.
