You can say they are good because they will eat nutrients in your tank, but most of us consider them bad because: 
 
1.) they multiply fast 
2.) are ugly 
3.) will sting other corals 
 
Basically as stated above, they can take over. 
 
There are many methods to kill them, personally I just mix KALK with water to make a pasty liquid and then using a syringe, I inject and cover each one. Will usually kill them in one try.
