Coating them in natural Kalk paste makes them die.

I've been having pretty good luck with a freshwater, vinegar and CaOH2 mixture. The vinegar helps to allow more kalk get into solution. When it hits salt water, it precipitates into a paste-like formulation. I just feed it to the aiptasia...I've found injection to be very difficult and it usually leads to pedal laceration (meaning more aiptasia).

As for the natural way, which was your original question...I've had a little bit of luck with Klein's butterflies.
