We got several on our live rock when we started up, never had any problems, we still have at least one (after 3 years) and it just pops up every one in a while. From the research I did when they first appeared, they are questionable. I would monitor it and see, remove it if it becomes a problem, FWIW these ones never multiplied in our tank.
