Looks like clove polyps to me, they are good to have in my opinion.

I agree with clove polyps. As for getting rid of them, your best option is to pull the rock and dip it in peroxide

Seriously bro, u dont want to kill all the life on ur live rock with peroxide, this guy used fluke tabs in an sps reef. Just do a google search for clove polyps and fluke tablets

 

[wallacefan]

i did and saw some adverse reactions to it
i was told the ich shield does the same thing only safer just trying to find the best way to do it and if it doesnt work i am going to throw in the towel and give up reefing i have replaced the rock 2x and it still came back

 

[eddiereefs]

Ok if i were u i would grab a ten gallon tank or rubber made, transfer some tank water and all ur corals into the new tank and try the tabs or ich shield on the infected tank. After treatment is done do water changes and carbon and put corals back.thats just an idea good luck

Must be something wrong with me because I like clove polyps and find that they are growing slow in my tank. My GSP is growing 10 times faster than the clove.

my gsp and those things grow like wild fire!
