White hairs on coral?

[Surfandturf]

Anyone know what these little white hair like things are that are coming off my coral? Never seen anything like it before. Almost looks like baby xenia which my girlfriend has in her tank. I found the same stuff on a scolly as well.

Do they move? If not, probably a white branching sponge.

They move with the flow...

Like i said, its wierd, they have a stalk with branches that come off the sides. When i looked at branching sponges, the just had the stalk.

Perhaps some type of foraminifera

Very well could be. I’ve seen some that look exactly like that. Almost impossible to find good info about forams in reef tanks online. A few here and there only.
