Coral ID Please

I got this from LFS. They called it a clove polyp colony. Said it would do well with my set up, low maintenance, etc.
Its doing great, but it looks disturbingly like xenia, which I've heard horror stories about. Is it Xenia, or can I stop popping the tums....

It looks more like Anthellia IMO. Here's a picture just for comparison.

Right so probably just as bad. "Quickly grow to cover rockwork." Lol. Should have known better.

It is def a clove polyp...and yes they will take over if not kept in check. Just cut them off at the base with a razor blade when its time to trim them back. Either frag them for someone else...or flush em. They will grow back b4 u know it
