So looks like I am getting diatoms after the move; its all on the sand. I purchased a diamond goby Saturday to help stir the sand but have not seen it since. Also, bought to peppermint shrimps to help control Aptasia.
Should I wait this out or try something else?

So the pesty nems are up to 6 in my tank today. I used lemon juice as the shrimp are no where to be found nor the goby.
The nems tentacles melted and drifted off but I know that some are alive still.
Any other suggestions? More shrmip, file fish, nudi branch, Aiptasia X, etc.

Lemon juice in a syringe and inject it directly into the center of the bad beast.

I was at the local Ocean township aquarium store and was surprised at the amount of aptasias they had in their snail tank. I would have thought they would remove what was visible before opening the store. I didn't buy any snails :)

I tried lemon juice with an eye dropper. They still come back, ordering Aiptasia X.

You have in inject it with a hyperdermic needle into the center inside. A dropper isn't going to work

I've used Kalk in the past for them with a needle like @diana a mentioned. I'd mix a small amount until it looks like tooth paste, and just shoved it into them and blasted away
