I don't think there is anything that will eat them but they will kill any sps that they touch . They are a great starter coral-nem one of the first corals that most new reefers try .They look nice grow fast and are cheap But soon regrettable . I have had success controlling them injecting them with aiptasia x . Good luck

Muriatic acid works the best.

In tank fix? Aiptasia-x (kalk powder+little bit of water). Put it on the mouth.

Default aptaisia x

Aptaisia x doesnt always work. I had a green rhodactis mushroom overgrowing and killing a sps coral. Injected it twice with aptaisia x. It turned white and shrivelled for a month but then came back just as strong as ever.
