How to kill pest (jewel) anemones??

I need help. I am getting more and more of those little green bodied, scarlett tentacled anemones spread around my tank. I'm told they are jewel anemones. I've tried 3 times to kill them with Joe's Juice but after ~10 days they are back full force.

How can I get rid of them before they take over my tank?

Kalkwasser. Joe's Juice is weak. I use Joe's Juice and I'm in the same boat as you. Kill 20, 10 come back. Kill 10, 5 come back. The JJ is weak. You have to use the "Stab, grind, mame while injecting" technique. Atleast that kills 80%. If you want the best, use Kalkwasser watered down slightly. Some use peppermint shrimp for aptaisia control.

Kalk paste. Stab, grind, mame.

Okay. (rubbing hands together...) I'm ready!
