Can anyone ID this that I just found on the back of Utter chaos?

Possibly a sea spider from the looks of it, is it moving at all or does it look stationary?

It's stationary. This pic might show it better.

Then probably not a sea spider, is it a new piece in your system or has the rock been in your system for awhile?

JSpen · Dec 16, 2018

Anyway to get a pic with whites on?

TedsReef · Dec 16, 2018

How's this?

Clear with white spots. It looks like there is a feather duster to the lower left of the main thing we're trying to ID. Is it a feather duster too?

JSpen · Dec 16, 2018

Looks like it to me too.

It is a feather duster as noted above ( almost certainly.... does it retract quickly when you make a shadow in front of it or get close to it?).. thank the heavens it is not a sea spider!!! I have a nice duster growing out under the edge of my rainbow chalice frag....

Yes reacts very quickly! There is a pinkish red one and a yellowish one on that rock too. Also, when I turned on the whites to take the last picture I noticed some worms scooting across my glass. They were white/pinkish, small and slender, and could turn on a dime. They were too small to take a picture of.

Not sure about the worms... but they probably will become fish food soon enough!

I wouldn't worry about it unless you start seeing any of your corals closing up or receding.

My Milky Ways have looked like this for a couple of weeks. I gave them an iodine dip yesterday and I've been trying a few different spots in the tank out. They were the first in my tank.
