Anyone care to guess??

Hey everyone.. Would someone please help to identify what these are growing around my zoas? I think they might be a type of hydroid but, they are tiny.. This is the best image I could get of them using a 60mm macro.. Many thanks!

Do they move? They almost look like a bunch of Syllid Worms.
Otherwise hydroids would be next guess

They are so tiny it's hard to say..I will look up syllid worms and compare..thanks!

Vermetid snails is another possibility IMHO if they have hard tubes.

Almost sure those are hydroids from the pic, but hard to say with the focus.

I guess they can survive a Bayer dip..oh well..problem is solved..I pulled the frag plug out of the tank

Not a bad call. How long was it in the tank (post dip) before you saw them? I've had them survive a dip but it always took a little while for them to grow back.

I would say 2 months or so..no other sightings in the tank..
