A small aptasia eating file fish, would be your best bet. Personally it's too much of a PITA to inject them all the time.

I had very good luck with pepermint shrimp, bought 4 and 3 survived for about a year, still have one left I have had him for almost 3 years now. They had the aptasia all cleaned up in a few weeks and I have never seen any since.
Hair algae I did the 2 mexican turbo snails from BW as Ken suggested and they are doing an excellent job.
My tank is 33 gal, very close to yours Chase.

Default aptasia

if you only have a few-it wouldn't pay to get berghia-if you see 20 or more then 1-2 berghia would be ok for a while-but they would starve after your aptasia is gone
