    Get rid of that rock for sure.

    Do not make the mistake of thinking you can beat them with products/kalk paste/boiling water/lemon juice.

    Looks like a pretty blue or gray sponge in that rock as well.

    If you got the rock at the LFS get them to replace it with a pest free piece if possible.

    If you look at my profile image, you will see the links I went to rid my tank of them. Still even today one will pop up from a crack in the glass or anywhere.

    Once upon a time I had beautiful coralline algae......oh well.
