Kalk Paste, squeeze a big blob on each one.
Hot vinegar or lemon juice, inject it directly into the body of the aptasia.

I have always used Red Sea Aiptasia-X. Can purchase at most LFS for around $10-$15 bucks. Will last you forever. Does great job on eradicating them.

Remove the rock and cut the aiptasia out of the rock with a diamond bit on a dremel. Not that cheap if you dont have a dremel but its guarenteed to work every time.

Remove the rock (aiptaisia will retract) and torch the spot with a lighter. Cheap and very effective.
