I'm pretty sure I know what this is but I would like confirmation. Please ignore the algae. :p

It shows up best under the blue lights. I see at least 5 in this group of Zoa's.

I tried posting a picture.... are you talking about the polyp thingy or the strands in the back.

The polyp thing. It is a soft stem that retracts if I touch it and looks like a mini feather duster at the top.

I guess that is why I have it in a frag QT. Just not sure there is any way to treat it without killing the zoas.
 
This is what I believe is a hydroid. The red markings in the picture look like the hydrotheca.

Thank you for confirming.

Looks like I have some tough decisions to make. Just not sure I can glue them without a lot of collateral damage. Just so glad it isn't in my DT yet!
 
I've pulled them out that way. They never came back. If they do, try something else.
Fantastic! I will definitely try that first. Really appreciate the help!
