I'm not 100% certain what this hitch hiker is on my recent Zoa purchase. Took 2+ weeks to show up. I'm pretty certain I don't want this in my tank. So what is it and what's best way to remove?

Thanks

The dreaded aiptasia, kill it by injecting some kalkpaste in the mouth.

Doesn't look like aptasia to me. Tips are too round. Doesn't look like gsp either. Maybe a clove of some sort?

Clavularia of some sort - I actually bought a half dollar sized chunk of it for 9 bucks - I sorta like it for some reason!

Here's a better photo of the critter. There are multiple polyps coming out of the frag. I tried to focus on the largest of them.

I don't like what its doing to my Zoa's, and I'm trying to create a zoa garden on that rock. What's the best method to remove?
