Unknown red tube on my frogspawn

[LacroixBoy]

Hey folks! Anyone know what this is growing on my frogspawn? I noticed it for the first time the other night because normally the frogspawn is so out that it covers it from view. It looks attached so I’m afraid to try to remove it in case its part of the coral?

Thanksn

vermeciled worm. I apparently have no idea how to spell this species of worm. Harmful to only your fingers as I'm always getting piked by them

If you want, you can smash the little tube with a screwdriver or something (make sure you get the curly part too) so they don't spread. They look ugly and can irritate corals. Having a few isn't a big deal, but some people end up with far too many of them.
