Sorry for the blurry photo, it was the best I could do.

Zoa is actually on the upswing. Acro is new.

I'm thinking I may have some hydroids to contend with. Any chance these guys are feather dusters or something less problematic?

I was really hoping to be wrong about that one. Let them go for a few days and see if they disappear? I've heard they tend to come and go in some tanks.

Otherwise, I think I'm going to epoxy over top of them. There are 4 or 5 frags glued to the rock and they're near a zoa, so manual removal or boiling may not be the safest thing in the world.
