What is this? Long white stringy inverts in sump...

Hey guys,

Just noticed these white stringy inverts on a filter pad in our sump.




Might need to click the link to see a larger video so you can see them better...

Any idea what they are? I have an idea, but thought I'd ask first

Thanks :beer:

looks like bacterial strings. they cluster in groups and form strings. that's a good thing. i could be wrong...

Thanks, maybe from the Vodka?

Hmmm, I wonder if it could be clusters of digitate hydroids.

Ugh... I hope not...

Well I pulled the filter pad and decided instead of throwing the pad away, they could first suffer death by extreme UV. Also if I see any left in the sump, what's the best way to kill them? Just squish them?

Do the rest of these just look like normal filter feeders? Pineapple Sponges, etc...?





Better look towards half way and at the end:
