Ok I'm not sure on how this got in my tank but it's invasive!
Horrible pictures but Anyone have an idea on species? Maybe some type of sympodium?
Basically brown with blue center

Those look like Brown clove polyps (Sarcothelia) and they are invasive from my experience and I could not get rid of them until I did an in tank treatment. The easiest and safest way is to pull the rock that they are on if they are centralized and can be removed.
