Are you referring to the tan colored fuzzy stuff?  My guess is that they are foraminifera.  Generally a harmless reef inhabitant. The best control is an old toothbrush... though I encourage leaving them alone. After all diversity is a reef tank's friend!

I had something like that pop up in one of my tanks. I think they (mine) are Clove polyps? They seem to wax and wane on a small patch of Rock work.

Hi friends thanks for replying 
But they are growing very quickly taking the dark areas of the rocks, plus if they break off and fall into a coral reef stick too. 
There are some predator for this pest?

There is nothing I know of.  Often these unidentified animals grow quickly when conditions are right but fade out when conditions are less favorable.  The problem is often the exact conditions that cause blooms are unknown.

They are very soft, they crumble to the touch. They detach easily when touched rock. 
the problem is that corar off and stick to make life in the coral

Yeah, OK. If they "crumble" then I am withdrawing my clavuria suggestion. Too bad, too. I like the ones that popped up unexpectedly in my tank.
