Pest star polyps?

Still same family if they are not green, but I think they are probably
green and its just the color in thepic that makes em look that way or
the lights they are under. Certain times my wad of GSP look tanish or
brown also......I looked in all my books and have yet to find a pic of
a star polyp that is any color other than a green or pink, but it
references them as being brown / tan as well.

Those are just your typical green polyps. They do grow like
weeds......Its always been suggested to keep em away and off yur live
rock or they willtake over. I never have problems cutting them back,
by merely peeling the mat off the live rock. They like good current
flow and settle for half decent lights.........and then grow like
weeds. I like how they look on the back of a tank on the glass.

I've got a serious case of runaway growth over the rock work in my
tank
with this brown star polyp-ish pest. It has 8 tentacles and encrusts
like made by sending out tubes from which the polyps grow. I think
the
only way to get rid of it is going to be to pull out the infected
pieces
of rock and scrub it off but I'm curious if anyone can help identify
it.
Maybe then someone can suggest something that will eat it.

I actually carried it over from my first tank where it never grew
much.
I think it likes the halides.
