ID help please: Are these brown clove polyps?

[Haaps]

Are these brown clove polyps growing beside my Zoas? If so should I try and get rid of them? THanks!

It looks like clove polyps to me, and yes you should try to get rid of them, they will spread to every rock space in your tank very quickly.

Any advice on how to do that?

Sorry lol, I lost my battle against them and had to do an entire rock swap.

If its a small patch you can try covering it with glue or kalk paste, or even consider to pull the rock entirely.

There is a thread of using fenbendazole to kill them, it seems questionable to me and I never tried it, but here is the thread for you to read and decide for yourself. Good luck
