Thanks! I just don’t want to deal with it if they’re palys.Definately not aiptasia..
Looks like some bleached out zoas or palys to me.
The live rock is from my lfs in southwest Florida.Is this from the gulf or the keys? Or somewhere else?

This was the first time I’ve had the light on since I started the cycle in 3 weeks so I was surprised when something was growing a lot.If they started growing under those overhangs might be nps
How would you recommend going about killing them?IMO if you plan on keeping them they will likely spread up the rock if they are or become healthy. So be prepared to kill them at some point.

Its Poriferan sponge and can be invasive. To get rid of it:
Peroxide injections into the sponge
Inject air into the spponge
Vinegar injected into it
Brush off with a very hard toothbrush
Expose the sponge to air
you are right too, but in some cases we can't pull out the rock (in his case it's the the very bottom of his rock scape), but we want to go rid of it, we have to take another steps to finish the job. Even disturbing a bit the water quality (yes it can get another issue if not proper measures are taken) but it's what's it.I say keep them.........what some people may consider invasive I would consider natural and can be a benefit to the tank......and a heck of alot better than dumping in chemicals and store "bottlefixes" to mess with water balance. If you really dont want em.......pull the rock and trade it out.
