Really curious what these are. I've searched the internet on and off endlessly over the past few months to no avail. One or two has turned to a couple dozen and I'm wondering whether I need to take action. They haven't died off like pineapple sponges usually do.
They look like a cross between a hydroid, aptasia, and feather duster. Very small copepod size, maybe slightly larger.

Also, they were with some peppermint shrimp during QT and they weren't eaten, if that means anything.
