Fairly easy to treat. pull the rock out and use some HCL with a dropper over the nem and watch them melt away.

It is at Home Depot for about
It is at Home Depot for about 7 or 8 dollars a gallon.
HCL stands for Hydrochloric Acid and is an industrial concrete cleaner. Only thing to be careful is to drop it only on the nem and only a few drops will do the job. Anything else you drop it one will melt and dissolve as well.
I recently used HCL to clean off all the bad algae that had taken over the rocks in my tank and had no ill effect to the fish or corals that were still in the tank.
According to Jeff those are like little anemones, but they are/can be overbearing....i was cutting them at the bases and gluing over the base, just make sure you catch the part you cut off.
