fine hairs on skeleton

[MsBean]

Any ideas on these fine white hairs coming from the trunk of this hammer? From other threads, maybe spionids? What to do?

Fine hairs are hydroids and at the base sponge
Remove frag from tank and place in a container of tank water and them scrape or brush of, then return to tank,

Should have mentioned, the white blob at the bottom is just glue.

Tried scraping the fine hairs off to no avail. They seem to be emanating from little pinhole sized beige bumps.

Honestly I think I might just frag the living head off the top and dispose of the base.

Spionid worms. They live inside the skeleton. No clue how to kill them.
