Dealing with aiptasia in chaeto reactor?

[razzpatazzz]

So I finally got some aiptasia in my tank. Removed any rock rubble that had them on and it looks like I still have ~2 medium sized ones on my rockwork. I think people suggested lemon juice to kill them so I'll try that along with some peppermints just to be safe but I'm also seeing a few in my chaeto reactor. Since the reactor isn't large enough to fit my hands in to inject them, what would be the best way to remove and keep them out of the reactor? Throw away chaeto and keep the reactor dry until I am able to clear the display of them? Or can I temporarily throw in a small peppermint in the reactor even?

I would try a 10-minute fresh water dip to see if the osmotic shock knocks them out. My guess would be that the cell walls of the macroalgae would help the chaeto survive the plunge while the cells of the Aiptasia would lyse (blow up) from the influx of water. (This is just a guess, though.)

Thanks for the tip, will definitely try it out. Probably will do it last after the display is clean so I don't have to clean it multiple times.
