I had lots of them in my biocube back in the day. They supposidly irritate corals but other than them being ugly, they didnt seem to do much harm to my stuff.

These are the feeders they send out and can also sting coral with it. Simply cover their opening either with coral putty or Gel super glue from the dollar store
