Hitchhiker ID - palyp and ??!

[angengland]

I had a couple hitchikers on this live rock and wanted to make sure they are OK. One looks like a plain brown paly similar to the blue green ones I picked up at a swap.

The others are star like "flowers" on a medium light brown with white centers. Individually smaller than the paly but clustered in a group. Anyone know what these are?

You have a palythoa on the left and what looks like star polyps in the middle :)
Both are not bad. I say not bad because star polyps will spread rapidly and take over the majority of rock work in a fairly short time.
I should say "not harmful" lol

Lol! Ok I know what you mean. Fast spreading I can deal with I was just nervous about the stars because I'm just getting to the tail end of cleaning up an aptasia infestation from this tank. The last thing I needed was something else truely insidious.

Thanks!!
