Help with ID on this

[lowtek]

Had tank running for 1.5 years. A week or two ago I spotted a cluster of these guys in photo with little green spots. Looks like some type of sponge but a look from another angle revealed hair like tentacles. Then I thought some type of Zoas but I have no clue. This photo doesnt really capture the tentacles but they are there. Any Ideas? Thanks

I see a Asterina starfish in the upper left side but at the bottom its too blue in the photo to tell. Need to shut off the blue & use white light in photo for proper coloration. Maybe a bright shop light or a lamp verses the tanks lights if they can't be toned down.

That picture isn't sharp enough to ID anything that you are describing. Turn your blues down and try to get a closer look.

I do see an asterina star.

I'd be worried about that bubble algae too. That stuff is a complete terror.

[MENTION=335089]lowtek[/MENTION] I see Hydroids and believe that is what you are referring to.
There are many different types..

Yeah that bubble algae is one mean mother. I'm working on it. Lol.

Yes you saw what I was talking about. Sorry for the crappy pic. Im getting that they can potentially be bad. Others say they pose no problem. I guess I'll have to keep my eyes on them.
