Coper banded butterfly fish take care of them pretty quickly though.

The problem with that is that the copper band usually starves after
eating all the anemones.

Mine did a number on my aiptasia then wouldn't eat anything but frozen
mysis or brine shrimp until I tried some homemade food.

Blended up to varying degrees of fineness:

Live clams, shucked
Live mussels, shecked
fresh frozen prawns, some shells on
frozen krill
shredded nori
shredded dulce (tangs love this)
some other seaweed I had around
various quantities of flake foods
frozen cyclop-eeze
decapsulated brine shrimp eggs
reef chili
Tahitian blend reef tank formula
super selco
fresh salt water mix to aid mixing.

Everybody in the tank goes crazy for it, including my copper banded
butterfly. My ruby red cardinal (who otherwise hides) darts out to
snack. It wasn't very scientific, but everybody in the tank seems happy
to eat this every day.
