The thing in the picture with tentacle looking things (sorry it's not a good picture and didn't know how else to describe it) I can't see it that well where it is, all I know is that the tentacle looking things away in the flow. Is this aiptasia? If it is, what is the best way to get rid of it?

Yes it is aptasia. The other nusiance nem is a manjano but those actually look Cool and typically have a green hue hue the end of their tentacles. I have found that aiptasia x works great,but I have also seen success with fresh water and a syringe directly on the head of the nem. Hope this helps

I tried a bunch of different things to rid my tanks from Aiptasia. Best I have found is Nudibranchs and peppermint shrimp.
This last bout of them the Shrimp worked the best. Its best to get ahead of them right from the start and not let them go it only gets worse as the spread thru out your whole tank system.
