I have some aiptasia growing with my gsp just wondering who is going to win if I leave it alone and let things happen or if I should take care of the aiptasia… thanks!

I would take care of them otherwise they will spread rapidly throughout the tank

You can use Red Sea Aiptasia X which works and there are other products, Berghia etc.

Neither will kill the other - they will both spread. GSP spreading is probably in your plan. Aiptasia probably not. So take care of the aiptasia.
I would not consider a natural predator for a few small aiptasia that can be covered in kalk paste, F-aiptasia etc a couple of times and be done.
