they look like little bleached mini fan corals starting to grow right, not a base block algae

First of all, Welcome to R2R! That doesn't look like Hydrozoans to me, but I'm far from an expert. Lets see if we can get some expert eyes on it. #reefsqaud? While we're waiting, why don't you wander over to the "Meet and Greet section and introduce yourself to the rest of the family?

Liquid vibrant may help eradicate also

Some sort of sponge maybe? Sounds like sponge behavior. Doesn't look like sponge though.

With over 3700 species in the subgroup alone ..........Hydrozoa is a subgroup of cnidarians , Hydrozoans refers to them collectively , now If I had said Hydra then I could understand how it does not look like one. Which I would agree with.
