They appear to be feather dusters. Maybe. Weird ones.

"Aip" can mean "aiptasia", but I don't think that's what you have. Poke 'em with something, see what they do.

Looks like aip but on a frag plug/ plate? Is it intentionall introduction? To feed file fish...

 

[Cmas0814]

They didn't move

toss it in some dip ?

These are a species of hydroids. I don't know exactly which, kalk paste should help kill them. You don't want these ones.

These look like yellow polyps and will grow crazy on a rock

The tube under the feathers does not match that of a palythoa/zoa,

They didn't move at all when you poked them? Not even to shrink up like zoas do when annoyed?

Poke harder.

(Not with your fingers.)

I grabbed with tweezers. Nothing

Idk but what are you waiting for get that outta there, no zoa is worth a possible infestation, obviously the zoas don't like them, they look like hydroids of some type either way remove before its an issue for the system.

 

[Cmas0814]

Simmer down they're out of the tank. I took them out and removed all the hydroids

These have a tube like hydroids. They are not on a stalk like the parazoanthus axinellae.

I of course just went to my large screen opposed to phone and these are actually droids, Myrionema hydroids to be exact
