Cloudy tubes growing...

on my live rock. What is it? They seem to be a bit smaller than a macoroni noodle. You guys have any idea what this could be?

Re: Cloudy tubes growing...

Google "aiptasia", "majano" and "feather duster". Is it any of those?

No tentacles growing on them. They remind me of little macaroni noodles that just sit there in a crevace (sp) but are some what clear but cloudy.

Hmm sounds like the tubes from sort of worm if they don't have tentacles. If they don't have tentacles, that's good news.

They're strange Biff but kind of cool. As long as they're good.

They might be tunicates. Compare photos! Tunicates look interesting and are harmless.
