Which are these guys?? Bottom picture has more blue tones. Any harm in keeping them?? I know they spread quick. I have about 8 isolated colonies in my 150.

Those both look like Palythoa to me.

Texas Trash Palys I believe after some research. Kalk paste incoming.

Look like a Caribbean paly to me. Invasive, as you've found. I'd recommend against the kalk paste and take the rock out to dispose since you mention they are on an island. If you go kalk paste, proceed at your own risk and run some heavy carbon.

Kalk paste in action. Hand removed what I could. Skimmers stink bad. Everything else fine so far. Over 3 days Ive gotten 99%. Straglers time is up this weekend.

Palythoa from what ive seen before but people get too caught up in names.
