That's a mushroom. While there's never any guarantee, I have heard of them surviving the cycle.

Looks like both. The big one is a mushroom and the little spots to the right are zoanthids.

Sounds like it'll be an interesting ride for them both, since those numbers are just all around high. But there isn't a whole lot you can do now. That is often the fate of hitchhikers.

Those are pretty hardy lil corals. They stand a good chance.
