Apparently they're difficult little critters, from what I've read...

Hello all!
We're on day 9 of cycling my 6g Fluval Edge. LFS said my test came back great, it's doing exactly what it should.

I've noticed little growths on my live rock that weren't there before. Pics attached- hope you can see. They almost look like little Kenya Tree(s). There are quite a few of them and they move.

Any idea what they are? Should they be kept? Removed?

Thanks for your wisdom!

Here are better pics, maybe....just worrying that this could be Aiptasia?

Are you trying to ID something else? You already received a correct ID on the clove polyps.

.....was just asking for piece of mind. Please forgive me. Beginner, and being cautious!

Understood and understandable. There is sometimes a lot of misinformation on forums.

Certainly provide some additional detail with why you disagree or may think it is aiptasia and we'll help provide additional details to help you with your ID.

Google image "clove polyp coral" and this will put your mind at ease. It will also show you how much they spread! If you look close enough, you'll be able to see and purple or pink soft tissue connecting all the polyps that is attached to the rocks in a tube like way. Sorry, the best way I can think to describe it.
