There are a few pest hydroids that look like that as well.
any chance for a better pic?
i had toadstool that grew baby stalks on the bottom of the base as well.

Looks like leather to me.
is the color of the crown of the leather the same as these baby stalks?

To be honest they look a little translucent.

I'm leaning towards hui's postulation. Hydroids don't typically branch out of existing stalks.
I searched that and didn't find much. They good or bad?

Look up colonial hydroids. There are a lot of different ones out there. They are that size but typically not in that configuration. I'm thinking hui is right though and it's a baby toadstool.
for me, since i have neon green toadstool, the new stalks all have some neon green coloration. that's why i was asking what's the color of the crown.
I guess I will have a little patience and see how it turns out. Sometimes when things pop up it's better to get a handle on them before they get out of hand. I did look up colonial hydroids and I agree they dont look quite like this.
There are also some harmless filter feeders that look lIke this, and commonly found on live rock as hitchhikers. The most common colors are white, tan, and yellowish. Generally, I group them with sponges/tunicates in terms of how I view them from a biological perspective.
I can’t recall the name of them off hand, but will look them up later. Just an idea... I think he other suggestions are all also good possibilities!
