thanks for the reply. how can i end it?
The only method I've heard of being used successfully is manual removal:
They don't really reproduce very quickly so you can usually eradicate them by just physically removing them. It's a little harder if they're settled on the rock, but something with a hard edge will help lift them off, so that you can just siphon them out. If they're on a coral, they're usually easy enough to scrape off with a fingernail.

Edit: I should be clear; the threads that you see from them regenerate pretty fast. You need to extract the bodies if you are going to get them out for good.
The posts by the user killergoby in the link below may be helpful for identifying the bodies (which are what you need to remove) rather than the feeding appendages (which will just regrow if removed):
