Just got back from a frag swap, and dont get me wrong, super awesome stuff, but some of these things I got on live rock and that live rock has some pests I'd like to keep out of the tank.it has bristleworms (I know debatable pests, but I'd like to keep them out) and maybe vermitid snails, and these couple holes where two little white tentacle things come out. View pics. What should I do? I know a hydrogen peroxide dip will kill the worms, but what about the rest? Or should I just remove all the coral? Please advise. Thanks

What size tank and how old is the system?
20 gallons, about a year
I think I'm just going to take all the coral off and hope for the best. Best way to get mushrooms and zoas off the rock?
 
You can chisel the mushrooms off leaving the base attached to a bit of rock and be careful with the zoas as some are toxic.
