Hey,
Boosting a lot here today.

Anyone know what these tiny polyps are under my cabbage corals?

I’m terrified of zoas or anything with palytoxin and will literally freak out if this is something with it.

Is it soft or does it feel like it has a skeleton?

It's really hard to see in the shadow of the leather. Either GSP, Sympodium, or maybe a Daisy Polyp.

Should I remove it and place it elsewhere??
That'd be fairly difficult. Sympodium and GSP encrust. You'd have a better chance of removing the cabbage. However, you can leave it where it is. The one will grow low along the rock, the cabbage will grow up. Up to you .

I'm not great with softies so hopefully someone will chime in and either agree with me or correct me.

Maybe a small piece of porities? Maybe some expert help @encrustingacro
If you zoom in, it definitely looks more softy than Porite. I was thinking maybe something like that until I saw the lashes in one pic
