Default Question about getting rid of Aptasia?

Peppermint shrimp worked for me. Bill

I apologize for posting so much in one day. I have had to travel a
lot and unfortunately kind of got behind with my fishtank. I am adding
one fish I lost hopefully as well as getting a new fish but first and
foremost I want to get rid of a Aptasia problem I have.

I have had aptasia in my tank for around 2 years now and they only
seem to get worse. Finally around 2 months ago I bought some Joe's
Juice. This works better than anything I have tried. In the past I
used vinegar. I shoot it into the aptasia and then they do seem to go
away but then in a couple weeks they all start coming back slowly so
it never seems to get rid of them but as well it at least knocks them
back for awhile so they don't get out of control. This is at least
better than what I had at first and as I said I used vinegar earlier.

Now my question, how can I finally get rid of them for good? Is there
any other type of solution or way of using Joe's Juice. I have heard
that another way is to add a certain type of fish or even add
Peppermint shrimp. Should I look at either of these two options? Are
there any side affects to using a certain type of fish (what type is
it?) or peppermint shrimp and after the problem is gone would I have
to get rid of the fish or shrimp?
I've had this tank about 4 years and for coral only have blue
mushrooms. I have a lot of live rock and for fish I have one false
Percula clownfish, a Royal Gramma, a sailfin tang, and a Yellow Tang.
Thanks for any help.
