Does anyone know what this is? It reminds me of Zenia, but it's more fuzzy looking. Is it bad?

It's hard to tell with blurry pictures, but it appears to be a sponge. I think they typically grow more on the undersides of rocks, like your second picture.
The last picture might be spaghetti worms, but it is really hard to tell.

Is it possible you could get any better pictures?

I tried, but with my phone it's not coming out well. I'll try and get a different camera and post better ones. Thanks for your reply.

Photography through glass and water is not easy. If you are able to get better pictures, though, it will make ID attempts much more effective.

With suggested ID's, you can look up images of those ID's and see if they match what you see in your tank to confirm even without a better picture.

Great idea. thanks.

I found a picture of what it looks like. I think it's called Digitate Hydroids. Is it good or bad?

The photo you've posted here is a sponge. Harmless, and indeed beneficial - unless they directly overgrow coral, in which case they can easily be trimmed back.

(There are also a couple of Aiptasia in the photo, but I'm assuming that's not what we're looking at.)

Thank you so much for your reply. I'm glad to know it's harmless.
