Good morning guys, is this some kind of hydroids?

I put the pipefish to 220g tank yesterday and wanted to find out what this is before I take it down and wash everything with Citrid acid. Might have come on ulva macro (not dipped) as that was the only thing I added apart from brine shrimp eggs from bbsdirect

It did not bother baby pipefish so it doesn’t pack huge sting, that is the only thing i know, otherwise I’d burn it to the ground. Like 1/8 stalk with 1/8 head (1/4” body with up to 1/2” sweepers)
