Can anyone i.d what these are on my rock please?

Bought a purple fuzzy mushroom and several weeks later i spotted them. They definitely weren't there when i got the shroom as i had to clean the rock after also spotting vermitid snails! They have slowly spread and are getting bigger. The 2 lighter pics are when it was first noticed. The darker pic is from today. Anything to worry about? Thanks

It appears to be zoanthids or palys of some sort. Another soft coral.. Best of luck :)
They are green under my blue lights but if its white light they are brown. I was thinking palys. The rock they share with the mushroom has vermetid snails on, i thought i had got rid of them all but must have missed some and they have started to slowly spread on that rock. Will i and the tank be ok if i take the rock out and clean it again? I have heard palys are toxic so i am not sure how to go about it? Thanks
