Looks like aiptasia, you can try it's natural predators like aiptasia eating filefish, copperband butterfly, peppermint shrimp, berghia nudibranch, etc. Alternatively you can also inject lemon juice, kalkwasser paste or commercial products like aiptasia x but IMO they are not as affective at the first method.

clove polyps. One of the blights of the marine aquarium. IMHO, your best (easiest) method of getting rid of them will be to remove the rocks from the tank and let them sit outside in the sun for a week or so. Then scrub well to remove the dead material and reuse.

The Green frag in the 2nd picture looks like some sort of palythoa. They, too, can spread like crazy and can also potentially harm you on contact. Use caution with them. Consider isolating them on their own little island so that if (when) they begin to spread you can more easily control them.

Agreed. Do a search on "palytoxin" before you do anything with those.

Those are definitely clove polyps...and they’ve taken foothold.

It's nearly impossible to get rid of clove polyps. You can try trading in your rock for some clean rock but in my time that really never happened. Your other option is to pull the rock out, dry it out and reintroduce it to your tank.
