Strings on sps?

[Caseyoidae]

Found stringy like things on a couple sps. One has a burn hole on in? Dipped and inspected again and again, all I found were some white worms about 1/4"

Google Pyrgomatid Barnacle.

Got one on camera

Could be, thanks! Makes sense because some have taken over the holes where polyps usually pop out.

Hard to tell from this pic what it is.

I think they may be spaghetti worms taking up home in my corals. I see tons throughout the tank when lights are dim/ out. Happen to know of any fish/ wrasse that like to snack on them?

 

[KJ]

It is definitely not a spaghetti worm .

Google Hydroids.

?

Bubbly string things. Look different from hydroids

It looks like filaments that come out of your coral. This could be a feeding or A stress response.

 

[Caseyoidae]

Are the tunicates or hydroids?

 

[Caseyoidae]

Ahh, colonial hydroids. So these don't cast out a string though? Different species?

Spionid worm perhaps? (5th picture down)

That last picture looks like Hydroids btw. (Colonial)

 

[Caseyoidae]

Hey Cloak! Yes ! with their little strings flopping around. they are not sessile correct?

 

[Caseyoidae]

There's a long string in the middle of this picture, difficult to capture
