Need an ID on the blue and green stuff. It's soft like jelly and keeps the lepto from growing. It is very easy to siphon out and scrape off the glass but grows back very quickly. Any ideas on what this is and what might kill it?

So I found this ArticleIt is definitely the blue and green ascidians. Any idea on how to kill them without tearing the tank apart?
The variety in this tank grows extremely fast and inhibits the coral growth. It has overtaken a birdsnest colony.So I found this Article
“Ascidians struggle in captivity enough as it is; poor water quality will only push them over the cliff. Any system that houses these delicate animals should be mature and stable and have excellent water conditions.”
So if we are right about what you have than great job on having great water! But why would you want to get rid of them? Do they seem to be bothering your corals? They could be helping keeping your water quality great.
I would try Removing them by hand and scraping them off of what ever you can.The variety in this tank grows extremely fast and inhibits the coral growth. It has overtaken a birdsnest colony.
The tunicates are probably able to survive due to the large number of well-fed fish in the system
