looks to be a small head of aiptasia, it stings the polyps keeping them from opening, a shot of lemon juice in a syring injected through the head and into the stalk will kill it off peppermint shrim will keep them in check for you as well

hey guys i just did a little research and i don't think we are looking at the same thing on the picture. I think the aiptasia you guys are referring to is right in the center on top of the coral.
I'm referring to the bottom of the coral in the center. Its hard to see because it looks like its the rock but its this white foamy almost spongy like thing starting to cover the corals.

Well there's definitely an aiptasia, and the other thing looks spongey LOL. If worse comes to worse and you cant save them send me a pm and I'll give you some more radioactive dragon eyes, I have a few little colonies kicking around taking up relestate for other corals. No charge
