Im relatively new to the Saltwater World, I have had my tank setup and running for about 7 months now and I have this out of control dark red algea growth all over the place that light hits directly. I would love to hear any and everyones suggestions on what may eat it/get rid of it.. Thank you

Welcome. Red slime algea is caused by high phosphates generally from over feeding especially with brine and flakes. Circulation is also normally an issue.
