I found the Id. It's Zanclea Hydroid.

I think I've seen these on a coral or two but I don't think they survived in the tank.. (The hydroid)
Really not sure about this but I don't feel that they are a long term threat..
That coral, however, doesn't look to be in the best of health.

+1 unless your tank is somehow able to sustain them they should die off.

Zancleas. Don't ever spread in my tank and don't seem to harm the coral in any way.

Had those on a coral once. It looked like the hydroids would sting the coral. Eventually, I lost the piece. Could have been a combo of wq and hydroids leading to loss. (Didn't lose anything else).
