Folks any advice would be appreciated. I’ve got this stuff growing in my 75g reef tank. Mostly soft corals and some LPS. It started a couple weeks ago but there are now likely about 25-30 all over the tank. Any clue what it is and how to rid my tank of it would be appreciated.

Aptasia anemone, there are several ways to remove them but I would get to work fast.
I would read up on them and pick your weapon. I personally use a laser or talk paste in a syringe. You can also just glue a frag directly on top of it with superglue and putty....:D

Yep, aiptasia; file fish and peppermint shrimp are often used as is Aiptasia X. Like Reeferdood said, you want to get rid of them asap.
