Parasites or Worms?!

[Devan Patel]

Hi! I’ve had these weird worms on my corals before and these little bubble things on my corals and now they are growing on my rocks. I’m not sure what these are. I was never worried about these until I just saw them right now on my rocks. I will upload a couple of pictures.

I'm guessing pineapple sponges (or something similar- sponge) and tiny white spirobid worms? Neither is a problem, if this is what I'm seeing. Some of the larger spiro worms are not desirable imo, but I think you are ok, especially since you have seen these before and they did not bother your coral. Life spreads in a reef.

It is no growing on my brain coral at the bottom of my tank. And it still on my candy cane everywhere it looks like it is irritating the candy cane. There are also patches of them on my rocks I just random spots. I still have those bubble things everywhere aswell on my rocks and some on my zoanthids.
