I don’t have a picture at the moment, however my question is whether aiptasia can ever emanate from a white tube structure similar in every way to a vermitid tube, but white.

I recently put a new coral in QT and I identified 2 aiptasia’s, however, there was another similar thing emanating from a white tube. Subsequently I noticed a similar thing on an old coral (too soon to have spread). Otherwise my QT has been aiptasia free.
 
I uploaded this pic in my own threat to find out what these were, and I was told they are feather dusters.

if yours look similar, they’re feather dusters

Ok this is the remaining thing on the new coral; I can’t say for sure it’s coming out of a tube even though it looks like it in the picture:

This is a terrible picture because it’s at the back of the tank but it’s the best I can do. You can at least see the tube:

This one appears to have two fronds as where the one in the first picture is circular.
