I just noticed an Aiptasia in a new zoo colony. Just one. Can suggestions to get rid of it? Peperment shrimp isn't an option, since I have fish that love to eat shrimp.

I would use some kalk paste. I use about a tablespoon of Kalk, to about a teaspoon or less of RO water. Then you can use a dropper or spoon to spread the paste over the spot. The downside to this, is you have to remove the rock for application.
frag zoo's around it then shoot it with boiling water or joes juice
How long until I can put the rock back in the tank? Do I have to rince first?

Joe's Juice. It worked like a charm for me. I killed 6-8 of them with one shot a piece. Simple application as well.
Paste seemed to work well. I think I killed a couple of adjacent zoo's but the aiptasia looks to be gone. thanks for the help.

Glad it worked out for you!
Should I remove th kalk paste, or will it go away on its own?

It will eventually fade away.... Or get covered with coralline.
Nothing like a good Kalk bath!!! Good job.
