Aiptaisa are a common pest. There are many ways to tackle them. Chemical means seem to just let them prosper. Peppermint shrimps, copperband butterflies, berghia nudis are natural ways to control.

I’ve had success with the right kind of peppermint shrimp. They do however, go after fleshy LPS in my experience. Give and take.

I am going to put epoxy over it. It's actually in a crevice

Just keep swimming
If this is the first and only one you've identified then I agree, either glue over it or manually remove it. If you caught the first one that may be the end of the issue. I had one show up on a frag and removed it. Haven't seen any since.

I just scoured through my tank. Hopefully that is the only one. Funny thing is thats in the back right side of my tank. I have not put any coral or plug there. Or anywhere close to it.
Rock was dried and bleach before I use them. So I don't think it was leftover from the previous tank.
And unfortunately I can't take the rocks out. Too big and connected to other rock.
