Yep, they are a problem. That will be an ongoing problem. The more you feed it, the more it will grow, the more it grows, the more it will eat/want/reach for....

I had one pinkish one start small in my brand new 100 gallon reef. 5 months later I had to sell it: it had more than quadrupled its size and was covering a quarter of the tank.
