This started growing a few weeks ago on a polyp rock, they look like little feather dusters
but they do not retract, does this need to be removed from the tank >?
Looks like hydroids. Yank that rock out next time you do a water change. Put the rock in the dirty water, scrub them off with a toothbrush, rinse the rock off in the dirty water, and toss it back in the tank. Repeat as needed.
