Besides file fish and inverts, are there any other methods that work, pls let me know. I prefer the non-chemical route, but i'm open to hear to all.

I understand the best peppermint’s for aptasia are the Lysmata boggessi variety.

Peppermint shrimp that have been raised to eat aptasia is best if you can find a local store that does that. Also, there is Joes Juice and Red Sea Aptasia X and there is a Majano and Aptasia wand that will send a small voltage that kills upon touch. Be patient, I had aptasia from a hitchhiker and with Aptasia X, peppermint shrimp and the wand I was able to get rid of it completely within 2 weeks.
 
I picked up 4 peppermint shrimp from aquapros a week ago and they are knocking out the aptasia in my deep blue 30. Every day I notice more aptasia are gone.
