Those are hydroid jellies. Nothing to worry about. They will disappear over time.

The clown would technically be fine, but they are a pest. They can spread all over your tank and harm whatever corals you may want.

I would try to get rid of them as soon as possible. Theres a product called aiptasia X that works well
