Any idea what this is? I only found it on one spot on my rock and some on a coral frag plug

Looks like colonial hydrozoa (Turritopsis dohrnii ) especially with presence of droid head as shown below:

Should i be worried about it spreading or harming coral?
They are capable of stinging nearby coral ( a sting that irritates, not kills coral)
Snip of at the base of each strand and scrub off remainder (preferably outside of tank in container of tank water)
