I don't have any fish due to the size of my tank, I have noticed them out and about on my new rock with the yellow polyps. These polyps are not as extended as they were when I first brought them home. I think these guys are real pests, I don't see any of those missing I think they really irriate them though.

Since my feeding is very low and I still have so many of them how would you rid them of a tank this size?
Because your tank is so small may I suggest manual extraction?? Take the rock out and shake it off vigorously in a bucket of seawater. It might not get all of them but it will get a few.
