Polyp or Pest?

[psychicmind]

Hello Reefers,

I’m trying to identify a few tiny brown polyps among my Firework Clove Polyps.

At first I thought they were Aiptasia.

Now I’m not sure since the tentacles are frilly like the clove polyps. They are super tiny.

Are these baby Firework Clove Polyps or are they pests?

The brown color is throwing me way off.

Xenia , likely anthellia

Yea, anthellia makes sense.

Two more questions…

1) Should I worry about this? To me they seem invasive and I don’t want them taking over my nano.

2) How can I remove them? I was thinking is using Read Sea Aipasia X
