I have 2 mysteries today:
1. What is this? I saw it the other day looked like a very fine hair around d my zoa base. Thought, I got 2 long hair dogs, maybe a hair got in the tank and settle there. But today there are more about 7. 2 long 1.5" other short. See photo
2. Aphasia or feather duster? They seem more light colored the aphasia always seemed like dar brown. It retracts if I touch it, but aptasia does that too. See photos
Thank in advance everyone

Pretty likely aiptasia. If that is Florida live rock could be a non-invasive one, but it looks like good ole fashioned scourge aiptasia.

I can’t make out the hairs well. Could be a wiry algae, hard to see.
 
Good amount of Apitasia and possibly a spaghetti worm in the last images.
