Can anyone Identify these brown zoa's that just started to appear in this colony in the last month or two? Is there an easy way to get rid of them?

Here is a colony that I got at the same time but it is doing fine without the intruders.

Looks like a paly to me...take a close look at the face and see if you can see specks of sand, if you do it's a paly

Thanks for the reply's, Iwill be picking up some joes juice this weekend. The weird thing is that I have had that colony for about 8 months and the brown zoa's just starded to appear and they are only on that rock\colony.

Thanks
