These popped up while I was out of town this weekend. They are 2 mm long. I figure they are just feather dusters but for my piece of mind I wanted to ask the experts.
Feather Dusters?
- Thread starter Doberman13

I don’t believe these are feather dusters, although it’s possible.
My best guess is they’re a beneficial filter feeder (See Foraminiferans on Lion Lair), or some type of hydroid (which could be good or bad). Regardless, I wouldn’t be extremely worried. Just cautious and keep an eye on them.

Heres a link to Lion Lair. This page is mostly accurate; but I’ve noticed a handful that are incorrect. Like Wikipedia; it’s a good first point of research... just don’t depend on it.
One moment, please...

Thanks, I've been browsing it. I can't seem to find a definitive answer. I'll definitely keep an eye on them as its only on one Frag plug right now
Good approach. You’re welcome, anytime.
Is that frag plug in a coral QT tank? Easy to deal with if that the case.
Is it just me or does it look more like a hydrozoan of some sort? Perhaps digitate hydroids? I'd be real tempted to pull the frag and break off whatever is on it.
