Anyone know what this is? This popped up today in my small, observation tank. No new corals in 6+ months, 1 new fish added about 1 month ago.

Any information would be helpful, thank-you!

looks like a hydroid to me. I had a bunch of them... this particular type seems to "go away" over time

OK thanks for the info. It's been removed and I'll keep my eyes peeled for more.
