Any ID on these critters ?

OK !!
Thanks both of you
I'll stop worrying about it for now, although I'll keep an eye on it

I'd sure like to get a Tang soon, but am still curing more LR

If you have the torch out burn the clove polyps too. They'll reach plague proportions in no time. I have the blue ones in my tank and there's no way to get rid of them.

I have a Moorish Idol that made short work of them...then he moved on to the zoas.

These comments have me thinkin' twice about leaving them in

God knows how long it'll be before I get a Tang through QT, + there's the new LR to think about as far as a cycle goes - me thinks I'll give peroxide a go and see what happens

I love my clove polyps. I do have them isolated on a rock of their own, however.

Good luck on the isolation, pretty soon you'll have a tank full of them.

Plus one - I agree they can be a nuisance. That said mine were all eaten by my old majestic angel.

Well, I did it
Not knowing how long it'll be until we have a Tang to eat the macro, I pulled the rock out and torched it kinda satisfying - sizzle sizzle
I got most of the cloves and figured I may as well hit the mushroom algae too
Now that I know how easy it is I'll keep an eye on things in case I want to do it again

I'll watch for NH3 for a few days
