Need Help- Aptasia, Hydroids or Red Star Polyps?

Wasn't sure where to post this? I have a 100g FOWLR tank that has been running for close to 14 years now! I recently noticed 3 or 4 colonies of polyps on a few rocks at the top of the tank. In the past I had Aptasia, added a Scat and he took care of that. I have NOT added anything recently other than a few Hermit Crabs and Turbo snails and Black Fin "shark".

My local LFS thinks its red star polyps and not dangerous but will spread. From doing some research I think they might be Hydroids, which seem alot worse. The LFS recommends a Chocolate Chip Star as they think it will eat the polyps. Not sure what to do next?
