hello,

What is the following tentacles clming out between zoas at nights i just noticed this and looks creepy :) is it good or bad if bad how to deal with it?

 
Looks like a shrimp but i have not added any shrimps there and it doesnt move at all just sticks there and those tentaclea disapear in day time
 
Spirobid worms are they good? If not how to get rid of them?

Aiptaisia is fine I have file fish in my 20 gallon refugium from time to time I put the rock with aiptasia there and it takes care of them.
 
Zoas are not disturbed but here is another video my fear is that I have shrooms and a couple LPS if this thing spreads I am worried about other guys in the tank.

 
As long as they are not harming my corals they are fine to be there I will observe them closely to see if they do anything there.
 
It look like Chaetopterid/Spionid (Tube Worm). Easy you can check, when you see it out, to turn off the pumps and to see if the tentacles start to collect detritus from the surface, if then spinoid, if they stay up, then Pyrgomatid barnacle (but on the video t come out of a tube, which isn't normal for barnacle), and I don't see the small hair like on the tentacles which catch the food from the flow.
