    Aipstasia, you need to get rid of it before it takes over the tank.

    You can get a pepermint shrimp they may eat it, but IME joes juice or lemon juice injected in its mouth is the best way to get rid of them. Also make sure you dont get it on any other corals in your tank.

    It is aiptasia, you definitely want to eliminate it as quick as possible. There are many commercial solutions as well as DIY.
