Possibly aptasia?

Can someone identify this for me, I think it's aptasia. If that's correct what should I do to remove it

I just did it today. Got some aptasia X and covered the pigs. I had two really big ones. Still looking for some more.

you could zap them as well, paulb has made a zapper, I can't show a link as he is not a sponsor here, you could pm him though for advice.

Careful. Aiptasia X can affect pH which may impact sensitive fish.
