Kalk or Joes juice them, Peppermint shrimp have been known to eat zoas when they get bored of the aiptasia.

I inject them with white vinegar, what I mean is I puncture them with an actual sharp syringe.

you can do anything you like but thats only going to make the your problem worse. They will just multiply. IF you dont have any corals on your rock you can take it out scrub it with a brush and then boil it in hot water (keep in mind that if you have any worms in that rock they are going to be a gonner as well) I would go with the pepermint shrimps they did a mircale to me.

I inject them with the white vinegar, it only works with the big ones, obviously the small ones are too hard to hit with precision. They dissolve away into nothingness.

All I can say is whatever works for you with this problem, everyone seems to have a firm text book belief in what works with Mother Nature.
