Being new to marine aquarium, I'm excited that coraline algae starts to grow on my LR. However, today i noticed some soft thing grow on the LR as the pic below shows. Should I remove it or leave it there. How do i remove them? Thanks.

That beige coloured thing is a sponge. It's harmless.

That's a Randall's pistol shrimp. Alpheus Randalli. Reef safe. Can co-exist with skunk cleaner.

they just appeared from nowhere, now have abt 4-6 of then in the tank. Most of them stick to my bubble coral roots. Are they Aptasia a pest? Thanks.
