I'm pretty sure I remember seeing somewhere that this stuff is bad, but I can't remember what it's called; the little flowery looking things.....

Thanks Fretfreak, but I don't think it's Xenia. The flowers are TINY. Here's another pic zoomed out for scale.

I still think they're one of the types of coral we often call "xenia", though yours look like the shape of Sarcothelia edmondsoni.
Nice moorish by the way. =)

Thanks! He was totally beat up when I got him (details here http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showpost.php?p=21412086&postcount=1262)

That pic looks possibly like snow flake clove that can spread everywhere... But It may not bother you if you don't mind it growing like that!

Daisy/jasmine polyps, no issues with them. They can grow pretty rapidly though.

Thanks everyone! I really don't want them spreading everywhere. Can I simply brush them off or will that make even more of them? I can't take the rock out because my RBTA is attached.
