Sorry still too blue for a positive id
I had snake polyp in mind also, but they normally got bigger lashesIt’s either a macro algae (i forget the name) or snake polyps (protopythoa sp).
They are beautiful and hard to keep, it’s a personal choice in the end if you want to keep or discard. Not everyone likes algae in the display, I could add that this specie is not one of the invasive, and it’s quite rare and pricey if you where to buy from a vendor. if it helps your final decision.your right it does look like macro algae
should i just let it grow out?
thank you for the ID and background info.They are beautiful and hard to keep, it’s a personal choice in the end if you want to keep or discard.

That’s the ultra-rare Neomeris, a calcified, green macroalgae. Usually, it dies in captivity (disintegrates into sand), but when conditions are right, it can become invasive. It is also otherwise known as Caterpillar weed and Finger algae, but I like to call it Alien fingers.
