Hi,
Is anyone able to identify what there are?
First I thought this was coralline algea starting up as my tank is a little over a year old, but this looks different to that..

they’re popping up all over the place now

Its a little blurry but I’m quite certain those are spirorbid worms (they are filter feeders). You should find them on your glass as well. They arent harmful just unsightly. I wouldnt worry too much if they are on the rockwork but if they are on the glass, a magnetic scrapper or algae scrapper will get rid of them easily. Based on my experience they disappear as your tank matures usually by a year.
 
Thank you so much!
This is the clearest picture I can get

Yeap, spirorbid words. They pop up quickly. And if you look real close, you’ll see its feeding tentacles. I wouldnt stress too much about them.
