Clove?? ID help

[Tmeyers]

Trying to figure out if these little dudes are good or bad? Haven't had much success IDing them with Google. Iv heard they can be a problem. I need to make sure about them first before I take any action.

And what about them tube worms??

Looks kinda short for cloves. Maybe a star polyp of some sort

Blue Clove... can be pretty invasive/hard to control once they get going.

Can they jump from one rock to another if they were on an island?

An island will slow them down, but they can detach and float around to another rock.

Danger! Danger! Abort! Abort!

Hah these can be pretty fast invaders that are pretty hard to manage once they get going. Think xenia.

I should say, I've not heard of them stinging corals, but who knows.

Not a fan of these guys. Easily one of the “weeds” if you want a mixed reef. They will grow over lps and sps, anything hardish.

Thank you all! I will have to get my Mini maxi off this rock and I'll just pull the rock from the tank. Really don't wanna deal with something like that. Was just reading spiny urchins will eat them
