Again though is it problematic?Either colonial hydroids or yellow polyp corals. Hard to tell on phone as they are distant in the pic

ThanksSome people, not many. Like them. I would pull that rock, use tweezers at the base of the hydroids and remove them. They can spread like wild fire.
I should of mentioned. They can and will kill coral they sting/touchThanks

Yellow polyps no, hydroids yes and they multiply quickly and capable of stinging Some coral. Snipping off at theiir base and covering with coral putty most effective. You have to starve them to stop them If hydroids which will be small. Yellow polyps close to size of zoa coralAgain though is it problematic?
I will lose some coral taking the rock out. Could I starve it for Light?Yellow polyps no, hydroids yes and they multiply quickly and capable of stinging Some coral.

Not light - FoodI will lose some coral taking the rock out. Could I starve it for Light?
Depending on species, the hydroids I've had closed up like zoas though much more flat against the rock, didn't have a tube. Sea spiders will eat them also.In order to be sure they are hydroids and not palythoa, the hydroids will hide in their tube. Palythoa will close up like zoas
YESAgain though is it problematic?
That'll definitely wipe them out and you saved a lot of time by removalWell Did NOT like doing that but took rock out sacrificed three small coral . Put it in bleach don't know if I will reuse rock. Thanks for the advice everyone
You could have just chiseled off the part of the rock with the hydroids... or fragged the corals off and put them back in the tank.Well Did NOT like doing that but took rock out sacrificed three small coral . Put it in bleach don't know if I will reuse rock. Thanks for the advice everyone
rock was only the size of a baseball, The corals were mushrooms. I did not make a dent. I had to make the sacrifice to be sureYou could have just chiseled off the part of the rock with the hydroids... or fragged the corals off and put them back in the tank.
