Yes they are hydroids and yes they sting corals. Powder foods like reef roids seem to make them spread.

dangit. I don’t feed anything besides pellets and flake food to fish. Haven’t fed coral foods because still at the tail end of a 6 month battle with dinos. I've heard the only thing to do is a dewormer/fenbendazole
