Look like featherdusters. Harmless filter feeders.

Hydroids

They dont have tubes to retract in, is it just a diffrent type? Do I have defect dusters?

 

[Reeflogic]

Hard to tell really, but they look like hydroids. Especially if they don't have tubes.

 

[SteveSTL]

Those things sticking up are the tubes and the star shaped things are the worm. They retract into the tube. That's about as big as they'll get - they're not like the giant tube worms you can buy.

I revise my answer I think they're hydroids Google them

 

[SteveSTL]

I think ReefLogic is right - I didn't look close enough. Sorry. The Hydroids I've seen have all had more "petals" but those do look like them.

I just blasted them with a turkey baster and they didnt retract. I think there cool but they are every where.

 

[fishyfishyfishy]

Thank you all so very much. I will google now. Also I have asked for id on other sites and never got response that quick.

 

[Reeflogic]

They are a nuisance, sting other corals, etc. My experience is they usually just fade away, but if you have plague proportions, you might have to do some digging to find the answers you are looking for. Good luck man!

Harmless unless they decide to grow among your zoas.
They sting them and annoy them, making them stay closed.
