Is this Aiptasia ?

Is this Aiptasia ? Good or bad for the tank ? It was small and started going so big and I see many new one started growing near by.
Please suggest if I should remove it or leave it alone.

Remove it, I would use kalkwasser or add peppermint shrimp or berghia nudibranchs to eat it.

I stated using kalkwasser couple weeks ago and it’s being dosed 20ml every hour from midnight till 5am. Total 120ml per day.
Do you think I should increase the dosage ?

These are my tank readings on Aug 5 and today.

Aug 5:

Salinity - 1.025

pH - 7.9

Alkalinity - 9.1

Aug 17:

Salinity - 1.025

Ph - 7.7

Alkalinity - 8.4

Just dosing kalkwasser to your tank is not going to do anything to aiptasia. Dose kalkwasser to maintain calcium and alkalinity. Some people try to inject a thick kalk slurry into aiptasia as a spot treatment.

turn off circulation to your tank. Use a pipet or syringe to drop a glob of slurry Kalk paste on the Aiptasia. The aiptasia will eat it and it will be the end of the aiptasia. It is important to not have the tank circulation running or else the Kalk paste will flow everywhere and kill whatever it landed on. Turn on the circulation once you finish applying the kalk paste.

Like @GSPClown94 said put the kalk in a syringe or pippete and apply it directly to the aptasia.
