They are good guys and show your tank is healthy. Only time I have had to remove them is when they grow in between zoas and crowd them a little. I just pop them off and toss in my sumps lol.

Yeah my tank is pretty healthy now had a misfortune because my parents brought home a fish from a store I didnt know and just put it in the tank had a breakout of ich and couldn't kick it killed all my fish and I couldn't afford a large enough QT at the time to save them I work at a fish store and only bought pre quarantined fish up to this point unknown to my parents on the diner points of fish keeping it may of been velvet because my fish died really quick but as of now I'm waiting it out and bought a QT in case my parents have the urge to buy again
