I got this nice zooanthid colony but found hitchikers.
Here is the colony

Here is the hitchhiker. I can't tell if they're tiny aptaisia or some kind of clove. They seem to be connected by runners

There is also mojano that I've zapped once with joe's juice but it came back smaller.
 
I don't think Xenia have runners like that, I agree with the clove polyp, either way i would pluck them, that is a great colony of zoas.

I have not had good luck with Joe's juice on Majano. The 2 methods I have used are:
1. Burn them. If you can get the rock out use a lighter and burn the area where it is attached. Just about 5 seconds worked for me.
2. Make a thick past of kalkwasser, smear it on one side of a small bit of coral mounting epoxy then stick the epoxy where the Majano is. About a week later peel the epoxy back off.
 
Looks like Anthelia or cloves. I had some on a rock in my tank and took it out and put it in the sump so it wouldn't spread.
