Aiptasia Removal via Large Angel?

So, I've removed all of the corals from my tank because I've had an infestation of Aiptasia (I left my tank in the care of my mom for a while). What would you recommend to rid the tank of these? Would a large angel be appropriate (ie - Map Angel, Emperor)? I want something interesting and attractive as I'd like to keep it once the problem is solved.

What would you recommend? I'll be keeping this tank as a FOWLR and moving things into another tank.

Racoon Butterfly is cool fish that likes aptasia's.
Copperband Butterfly is another.
