They are definately stationary and I see a handful on a single rock that came with an anemone attached. I just don’t want them to spread if they will be problematic for my coral and searching other forums has put up several red flags ie, fragile shell/exterior, two tentacles and small strings around them. Ofc if they are harmless filter feeders I would like to keep them.

I would just remove the rock and scrape them off with a rigid tool.
My tank is over run with them and its like holding a cactus trying to move rocks around.
