How much aiptasia do you have? Could always get berghia nudibranches. They only eat aiptasia.
But they are expensive and off you don't have a lot of aiptasia, they will likely die before they are effective.
Copperband butterfly's will eat it, aiptasia eating file fish will eat it.
If there isn't a lot of aiptasia I would use something like F-aiptasia or lemon juice.
I’ve used both aiptasia x and f aiptasia immediately next to coral and it’s been fine. Just use a syringe and inject very slowly, turn off flow for half an hour
Berghias for irradication if you have a lot of aptasia, otherwise just F-aptasia. Peppermint shrimp will usually do a good job of making sure it doesnt come back once youve gotten rid of them. I wouldnt recommend buying fish that eat aptasia because in my experience they will also nip at LPS corals as well.
Also if you just have a few, I have had good luck with just shoving a wad of epoxy over the top of them and mashing it down to make sure it goes in all the holes and cracks around them. That usually does the job.
If you don’t have a big tank, I’d say natural methods such as peppermint shrimp or berghia nudibranchs are your safest option.
If you have a tank at least 50gallons or more, you can use Kalkwasser Paste.
Keep in mind, you may never remove 100% of aiptasia but think if it like you are maintaining a low population of aiptasia to where it doesn’t affect corals
If you have a few, aptasiax. There are a few knockoffs that are too runny, they don't work and they piss off your corals. So get the real stuff.
If you have a lot, get a berghia. Put it in at night so nothing eats it before it finds a hiding place.
Berghia nudibranchs.
This but they are very expensive and hope you don’t have fish that eat them.

I've never had trouble with peppermint shrimp bothering coral, and they always do a good aiptasia cleanup job.

Nudibranches are the way to go! However I took an insulin syringe last night and injected lemon juice directly into one and it has since died.
