What are these branches ?

[Coralmaniac21]

These are on the frogspawn i got a few days ago.. it had hydroids on it. So i brushed the crap out it before i put it in my tank and it looked fine.. but these are on the skeleton ? I dont see jelly like hydroids on them but i dunno what this is. Sorry its blurry the more i zoom in the less quality.

Its those branch things in the middle of the frogspawn skeleton

quality the pic

Some kind of hitch hiking flora... possibly a species of macro algae which is a good thing.

I scrubed both branches up to the flesh of the heads like 10 times.. rinsed and scrubbed another 10 times. I havent seen them on the skeleton since. I scrubbed pretty hard too it actually cleaned algae off the skeletons and made them white almost lol

And im deff keeping an eye out.. tbh i feel like i still should have dipped the skeletons in hydrogen peroxide as well. But a medium tooth brush seems to have worked. I mean i was told to take a tooth brush to it on these forums when i asked. that will take them off right or do they come back ??

You dont see any in the pics right ? Thats most of the skeleton right there

I would still dip just to make sure using a tooth brush wasn’t wrong just with a dip after you know ya got them

Thats gonna suck because this coral is more glued deep in the rock lol.

Maybe i can get it out without breaking the skeleton though haha... the other half i never glued though.. hydrogen peroxide and fresh water shouldnt hurt the coral as long as i keep the heads above it. The skeleton has nothing really in it cept near the heads i dont think anywaylol.

Thats what i was thinking. If they're soft and move with the current, i'd say bryozoan.
