What are these?! PIC INCLUDED!
Just purchased some green clove polyps and noticed these tiny little white things on them. Anyone have a clue what they are and if they're reef safe? Pulled one out of the tank and they're hard as rocks.. any help would be greatly appreciated!

The little white things are foraminiferans. They're basically like shelled amoebas. They're harmless filter/deposit feeders.
