Hi. I’ve had this candy cane Coral for a while now. And recently it’s been developing these worms or some sort of slime on the stalk of it, not sure what it is. There is also those white dots on it aswell. And recently when I was on vacation they have formed everyone on my tank. The back glass,pumps,rocks. And just my candy cane Coral. Not sure what these are

The white dots are harmless spirorbid worms. The little tube looking things are also harmless tunicates or sponges

+1 My guess is that the tubes are sponges since they are connected by a transparent “mat.” All three of these animals are harmless filter-feeders.
