For aiptasia, you should probably use Joe's Juice or a similar produce
or you can use lemon juice and inject those suckers :mrgreen:

If you have a crazy amount of aiptasia, you might want to cook your rock
Cooking involves putting all the rock in a bin with water, and covering it for 1-2 months with no light and periodic water changes (this starves the aiptasia and other bad things, however, it can kill the good hitchhikers too)

Your best bet would be waiting to purchase the clown and feather dusters unless you use joes juice
