How to treat hydroids

[DEE’S reef]

I have hydroids/ aiptasia in my tank it’s on my glass it could be on my rocks i don’t really know. But what are ways to treat it are there any inverts to get rid of them I’d prefer not to use chemicals in my tank if I don’t have to.
Here’s the picture

I would recommend an off the shelf treatment (aiptasia-x or joe’s juice) or kalk paste and try to “feed” to the mouth and then just cover; with flow off

So use a treatment not an invert like a cleaner shrimp or a nudibranch. Or would these inverts help

Those pics look like Hydroids. If your tank is fairly new then I would just leave them be. The ones I had went away once the tank was well establish. Just clean the glass everyday and I think they will disappear eventually.

There on the back glass and my tanks 3 almost 4 months old and has coralline algae appearing. I was going to get coral this weekend but I’ll wait till they’re gone.

Keep your nutrients stable and you can add coral anytime. They won't bother anything.

Ok I’m making the decision to pull all the inverts and scrub them there shells then to dip them then add them back and to scrape the hydroids off the glass and to syphon it out.
