Re: a worm?

These don't seem to spread noticeably and they have never grown bigger than what you see on the picture. I have one peppermint shrimp in the tank that enjoys exploring these rocks and may control the population of these hitchhikers.

Re: a worm?

They don't look like aiptasia nor quite feather duster worms either.Looks like barnacles,reef safe and generally die off in time.

Re: a worm?

I agree, most likely harmless tube worms. For more info and photos please see the worm section of my hitch hiker pages (link in signature). Hope it is of use.

Re: a worm?

It turns out they really are worms. They live in tiny rigid tubes and will retract to them when scared. A couple are big enough to observe this but I just couldn't take a good picture.
