Any ideas what these are?

They’re not Vermatid snails bc they do not have a shell. They are irritating the base tissue of some of my acros.

Hi there.hope video loads just by attaching. Not good with tech and trying to load to you tube first wont allow me ( says meta data unable to save and no clue how to solve sorry) Well i can see one tentacle,possible 2 in middle of my gsp at night whilst zoomed in.it looks see through but...

I had something similar and only could see the tentacles in my gsp and got told that worm above.also 3 pictures of a spaghetti worm that i pulled out to save after finding isopods and possible sundial snail.
Spionid worms have 2 tentacles and spaghetti worms multiply

That’s not what these are. I have those too but they don’t bother acros. They just look ugly

It’s probably a vermetod snail but just the tube is deep in your rock work.

 

[Charlie’s Frags]

I don’t think they’re spaghetti worms either. There is no base. Basically just living tentacle.

Nope. Vermatids have mucus nets.

I don't know what kind of critter these are. But I know what it is not. It is not any form of spaghetti - medusa - spinoid worm. Not a verintid snail. I do not believe it is a hydriod either.
If you have a wrasse I am amazed they didn't eat the bug. I still have yet to find out what these stalk type creatures are.

Found out what they are
Digitate hydroids

Digitate Hydroids (Good Or Bad?) | Reef Tank Resource

Digitate hydroids, and other hydroids found in reef aquariums, are known to sting corals and fish. They definitely fall into the "Bad" category.

At least you found it. I guess the movement threw me off. There is a type of worm that anchors to the rock that grazes around its location.

Now I just need to find a method that will kill them.

Dwarf angels, but they may get your corals. Manual removal. Take tweezers to them. When I had them, they died from starvation.

How did you starve them

Linear flow. But nothing likes that.

It's been awhile since your response, but just seeing how the tweezers worked long term for you? I recently found some and hopefully the population is small enough to attempt this.

Smaller populations, yes. Or any visible population that doesn't feel over whelming to scrape/pluck off of the rocks. Worst part is, if they are in holes of the rock and you can't get a good grip on the stems. You could chisel that portion off. I never tried to super glue them.
