Trying to find out if this is a pest or what the heck it is. Just got the coral.

I see the acro crab but what are these feather things? Almost polpy like. Don't look like feather dusters.

If you don't remove them, they will spread like wild fire! JME.

Thanks!!! Good to know. I thought they looked bad lol.

I ended up removing the coral from the little rock it was on. I tossed the rock. I didn't want to take any chances of introducing that into my tank.
 
If you ever come across more of these a small ball of epoxy can be used to smother them. It's basically like putting a piece of chewed up bubble gum over them. This will harden up and eventually become covered in coralline algae. You'll never even know the Hydroids were there. GL.
