I agree completely! I did manage to take care of mine by getting a green filefish from Biota. That little guy loves the small ones. I had to kill the large ones manually first, but haven't seen one in the tank since I put it in.

You didnt mention how many. If a few, keep it simple -
Using a syringe or pipette, inject either lemon juice or better yet. . kalkwasser powder mixed with tank water into a paste the consistency of toothpaste and inject into the very center core and it will melt away

Come take my peppermint shrimp, he ate all the aiptasia and then my acans..
My <former> filefish (ora) did the exact same thing. But add in zoa and euphyllia. Started with acans lol

Berghia nudibranch if you can’t fit the fish that eat aiptasia

I'm a big fan of Berghia. Even though I've not seen any in my tank in about 2 years I'm sure there's an active colony still. I initially put in 10 smalls. My sump has plenty of aptasia in it but there isnt a single one in my DT still. I think they must find and eat them as fast as they pop up.
