Noticed a couple of these little guys on my glass tonight. Dont seem to be moving. Is this Aiptasia? If so how do I proceed?

It’s probably a hydroid but too small to tell for sure.

A little more research and i concur definitely hydroids- not colonial. I’ve been dosing phyto daily which is what they eat.
My game plan is to stop adding phyto for a week or two and see if I can starve them out. My pods should be good on the plethora of GHA i have right now and left over food.
