Hello All!

Attached is a photo I would like some critter ID, on, I think they may be messing with some of my corals. I've circled the organisms in question

What I think to be aptasia is in red, and the mystery organism is in green. The green ones are little stony rods that are forming all around the tank.

Thanks!

The ones in red look to me like feather duster worms - harmless filter feeders. Good test is if they close up quickly or slowly.
The ones in green look like vermetid snails - bad guys that irritate coral. Break off the tube and cover with super glue to kill.
