They look like a harmless species. There is one type of
sponge that will grow in polyps, slowly smothering out the
polyps, but those don't look like that type.

thanks Wayne and Kim. I've not seen them this tiny.

Any idea on the ID? and if I should worry about moving them off the polyps
and on to some rock?

I'd appreciate any help you guys can offer:

These things only grow on my star polyps. I can't figure out what they
are. Sometimes there's a few and sometimes there are several. I seem to
have a lot of them now. When the polyps are open these things are
totally hidden. The star polyps seem very healthy. All water tests are
perfect.

Each on has an opening at the top. I never see anything go in and out so
it must be for nutrition... awww, I don't know.

A pic is worth a thousand words so go take a look.

You have sponges growing in your star polyps.
