Are these Leptoseris sweepers?

[Blukraken]

Hi all, I'm recently new to reefing and know some corals have sweepers, but I'm not so sure about leptoseris coral. When I spot fed my new lepto, one of what I think are sweepers ended up grabbing a piece of mysis and pulling it under the coral. I was curious what these were and their purpose. I thought the green dots on the surface of the lepto were the mouths of the coral. I've also read that leptos are photosynthetic for the most part and won't eat such big pieces.

They don’t have any sweepers to my knowledge.

that looks like it’s coming from under the coral, so I’d say some type of worm hitchhiker living underneath

Any idea if these are bad? I did dip the coral beforehand, but I guess if they were underneath then it'd be hard to dislodge them.

mesentrial filaments and can be removed with tweezers or legs of star

No those are not sweepers. If you look closely you'll see tentacles coming from the bottom of your frag. They are micro brittle stars ...good cuc. I have them all over my live rock.

So either or, these are no cause for concern and should be left alone?

I'd leave them. they like to be tucked under frags. They are good
