Well I'm a new member here and have a question about my saltwater tank.
I have a 55 gallon tank with live coral and have an issue as you can see in the pictures.
I had a person cleaning my tank and they have moved on and I do not know what to do about these growths.
Any help here? It is only getting worse.

welcome to R2R, these called aiptasia,
things that will eat those are:
filefish
butterfly fish
peppermint shrimps
nudibranches
all listed above is not 100% guarantee, but high likely will eat aiptasia

im my 7 years of reefing experience i had 100% guarantee with copperband butterfly fish. but the fish is hard to keep alive.

Thanks for the information. With as widespread as this is- is there any treatment that can be added to the tank to cure this? If not any recommendations of how many of the above to put in the tank?
Thanks
