ID these clear sticks?!!??

[Ajae]

I've found these around the bottom of some of my frags and now on the bottom of my tank. Any ideas?

 

[Nina51]

no idea what they are but i'd be more concerned about the brown stuff hanging on to your coral. it looks like it could be brown jelly disease.

 

[Ajae]

I think it may be stuff from my superglue. Nah that brown stuff is diatom that flew out of my sump after I accidentally started it back up without the filter on the pump. It was all over my tank, my cleanup crew has done a great job of taking care of it.

I will guess sponge.

 

[Shaummy]

They could be sponges, but they also have a look like the hydroid stalks I had once. Have you touched them? Are they soft and jelly like or hard tubes?

 

[Ajae]

I think they're soft, so does that mean sponge? will they kill my coral?

 

[heathlindner25]

I imagine anything like that would irritate Coral, but I'm going to wait for another expert to chime in because I'm not familiar with this creature

Seems like tube worms to me. If it is, no worries.
