Try the new Red Sea Aptasia killer. Works great. Get it from Marine Depot for 10.00

peppermint shrimp, file fish or copperband butterfly should get rid of it.

You can get rid of it by taking a paper towel and wiping it off. JUst have to be firm. I've done it with 100% success rate on frag plugs, flat rocks, and coral.
