This is my new 75G that has been up a week now it just started cycling today but I have a ton of these buggers (Aptasia) I tried injecting calcium into the ones that I noticed when I picked up the rock but I missed about......30

so now I have to wait till my tank cycles before I find a way to deal with these things

get a copperband butterfly. they eat them pretty quickly, but i wouldn't suggest one if you have a small tank or if you are a beginner. They end up being picky eaters and not easy to keep sometimes. You can also try some peppermint shrimp, but they don't always work.

does anything else eat them that are easier to take care of and can fit in smaller tanks? cuz i have some and dont want to take care of them myself... if a fish or somethin wants to eat them for me... then i'd prefer that

A Peppermint Shrimp might work for ya.
