Yeah I agree. that is a gorgeous picture. Couple things you can do to remove them. Unfortunately they are a nusiance anenome.
True Peppermint Shrimp will eat them right up and pretty quickly too. Nice thing about them is that if you have compatable fish they are an excellent addition to a reef tank and you can get more than one. You can use a syringe and inject boiling water into it's base and it should shrivel up and die. Some say lemon juice works but I don't know, sounds fishy to me.

Its majano and definitely a nuisance. They will take over and can disturb actual corals.
Pepper mint shrimp are good for aiptasia, not sure about majano. He meant compatible that you dont have any fish that would eat the peppermint shrimp.
Just use the search function on this site to find solutions to get rid of them. Some use lemon juice. Some people use this product called Joe's Juice, which supposedly works well. I just take some kalk powder and mix with a little tank water to make a paste. Blast it with that and it wont be coming back.
