Something growing out of ultra polyps

[Shondeezzy]

Been watching these clear tentacles grow out of coral at first I thought maybe the coral was just growing but now I’m not sure as they grow a bit longer every day. Anyone have any ideas on what they could be? And if I should get rid of them?

That is just the polyps spreading-like roots.

if you don’t want them to spread in that direction, trim them off or fold back onto the colony.

May be spinoid worms. If so- you will at feed see threads coming from it in search of food. If not, possible tube worms which will emit a fan like head to capture food

Okay cool! I’m glad it’s normal! Sorry I’ve only had this tank for 6 months I’m kind of new to this! I appreciate you!

I don’t believe anything comes out during feed time but I’ll double check tomorrow to confirm for sure.

They aren't worms, they're part of the coral, as jmp998 said.
