They look like those worms you would want to siphon out just because. I have no Idea but I would get rid of them just because of that.

No I am not.

Hmmm... try taking one out and taking a close-up pic. I think that would help with getting some idea of what it is.

They look kinda cool though. I hope they're not coral-eaters or something else bad that you'd have to get rid of.

I have not seen one on any coral. I have one coral that looks like it got nibbled on, but I am suspecting my coral beauty decided to taste it. All the damage is on the tips. I thought is was AEFWs at first, but after dipping and really looking at the damage I think it is not.

what are those yellow stuff on the rock.. look like they all over the yellow stuff only.. kind of licking or chewing on the yellow thing on your rock.

The yellow stuff looks like sponge to me.

 

[Anonymous]

It's just the rock. No sponge or anything. This was base rock so it might be old dead coraline algae.
