Hello,

I have these small feather duster like tube dwellers that arise from a mat/network base to spread from. I don’t know what they are exactly, maybe a hydroid or colonial worm?

Does anyone have any idea as to what they may be? They eventually grow a tube that extends out from their network base. The emerging head appears like a blue clove or snowflake like feather duster worm, the snowflake heads only get the size of a pencil eraser.

I would like to ID what it is so I can best treat to eliminate them from my system before they spread to my zoa collection.

Thank you
