Wow, never seen anyone with a problem like that. Maybe you should get a big angel, a lot of them eat sponge!

I think it may be risky for the sarcophyton and Discosoma

Yes, that was a bit of a sarcastic response. I am guessing manuall removal will be about the only possibility. Perhaps you can find a nudibranch that will eat it. MAny of them are sponge feeders as well.

I have the same sponge in my refugium. I don't worry about it because nobody see it but me. I figuire that the tank is trying to balance itself.

What size is the tank? 150 gal? If so, it will take more than 1 bergia to make a dent in an aptasia problem.
I would search for a species of nudi that eat sponge, and try several. That or manual removeal.

I got a very big starpolyp and when the light goe's on the starpolyp are still close and the sponge start over in it again, and now it's start on the rock of one of my sarcophyton.
