A Pest or not a Pest?

[coral49]

I'm new to RC and this is my first posting, so please be kind

I have a Biocube 29 set up for just over a year. Everything is great and I very pleased with my tank.

In the last few months I have notice some worm things coing out of the sand. They are very small in diameter and thread like waving aroung in the current. White in color about a 1/2 inch long coming out of the sand. The seems to be multiply quite fast, I have about 20 or more of them around the tank. They seem to feed beacuse they hold on to cyclopeeze. Are they a pest I should be worried about???? Will they sting my coral if the touch??? thanks

I have noticed them all of a sudden lately but i read it just means that the tank is healthy. Dont know the name though.

Tank you... There was a ID/picture on the site ---Digitate hydroids
I'm still a little concerned it states "It can become a problem in some tanks, but it hasn't in either of mine. Reef-safe-ish" Has anyone had issues with these guys, if yes how do I deal with them..
