What's growing off my favia

[Reeferdave1960]

Hi all
So I noticed this yesterday, it's growing from the rock my dragon soul favia is on. The favia has been in my tank for approx 3 or 4 weeks and I dipped it in Coral RX. I'm a newbie but it looks like a clove polyp maybe?
Sorry for the poor quality pictures, I'm working on setting up my regular camera for tank photos.

Thanks for your help
Dave

How many tentacles does it have? I believe cloves have 8 as do other similar looking genera like daisy corals. Don't think coral dips bother them and I always seem to have a few sprout up from time to time.

Hi
Thanks for the reply, I think it has 8 tentacles, hard to see for sure.
Any problem for leaving it there in the favia?

I've never had any bad experiences with them growing on other corals and think it adds to the diversity of a reef tank. Of course, you can scrape it off if you don't like it there.
