Hitchhiker on Hammer's skeleton

[m3rcfh]

Hey guys
Does everybody know what are the white spots on my hammer? Is it bad? I'm thinking in picking them off with a pair of tweezers...

 

[Kremis]

spirorbid worms, harmless filter feeders

 

[wattson]

what are the tentacles on the utmost right side of base of hammer in the picture?

 

[m3rcfh]

I was wondering that too, are they part of the spirobid worms?

 

[wattson]

I dont think so,,looks to be something that is not so harmless but let some other give thier opinion..maybe aptaisia or hyriod of some sort..I HATE hydriods of all forms..

 

[Kremis]

the worms have tentacles when you look closer

those look a little too big though. i think feathe dusters on the right side

small ones though. i think this because you can kind of see the tubes on the right

 

[m3rcfh]

Any harm if I pick them off? It kind of spreaded over to my other corals already
