Hitchhiker on Frag Plug

[Ianfaulk]

Can anyone help ID this hitchhiker? I was thinking it might be xenia or possibly cloves. You have to zoom in on the lower right.

I can see what your talking about, but it's way to fuzzy for me to ID.

Some sort of invasive octocoral, you want to remove that, it can and will take over your tank

Maybe a baby Clove coral?

I agree, it looks like on of those. Whether you want to remove it or not is up to you. Some people love their clove polyps and xenia.

Is this better? I'll try to get another pic tomorrow if not. What's the best way to get the mushroom off the plug?

Those are clove polyps and grow moderately

Yeah, those are better. Looks like clove polyps, and I bought some clove polyps for 15 bucks!
