Any ideas?

[Jam]

Anyone have an idea on what these are. They are growing in a small group, there is about 10 little stocks.

Aptasia

I would say hydroids. @twilliard or @Lionfish Lair should be able to help more.

 

[Jam]

Seriously Their tubes are hard are you sure?

 

[jsker]

@stevo01 nailed it.

 

[Jam]

They look more like the hydroids to me, I have aptasia and they are always a soft base like an anemone. These have hard tubes more like a feather duster

hydroids

 

[Jam]

If they are hydroids should I kill them off or let them grow ?

 

[twilliard]

Those are hydroids. Dab a little superglue on top of them now while they are manageable.

 

[Jam]

So they are a pest? I have aptasiax that will work on them correct?

 

[twilliard]

If they were aiptasia that has about a 50% success rate. since they are hydroids superglue is the 100% route.
Yes they are a pest

 

[miyags]

I have them.They make your rocks look like you have brown algae all over them. ugly pest. So get them while you still can.

Yeah sorry busy morning and im feeling ill. I forgot about hydroids. Could very well be hydroids too. Either way you dont want either of them in a reef tank

Get well!
We have been ill here for several weeks now this is not a fun one.
The good thing about these hydroids is that they do not extend and sting neighbors

 

[Jam]

Thanks all
