Try Peppermint shrimps..two took out my early few aips and have kept them under control since..Also have you tried fresh hot water injections, or kalk wasser mixed with lemon juice???

Oops..just remembered your fuzzies...that's the shrimps out the window then,lol....
Their is also a nudibranch available occasionally that eats only aips...Aeolidella stephaniae, old name Berghia verrucornis....worth trying to track one out.
Several butterflies take these, like copperbands, wimples, long nose ,etc....however they also take fan worms, yube worms, etc and may nip at some lps corals as well

so would they eat my soft corals and leaver corals and would the angels hurt my purple tipped carribean anemone

Get the rock out and blast them with fire or you could try a few peppermints but be prepared to lose them, mine stay in the rocks and rarely come out but they do seem to keep the small aips under control
