Just wondering if someone could help identify these white tube like things on frag plug of mushroom coral. There are more than the two pictured.
Apologies for picture quality it’s lights out and trying not to disturb the fish.

Does yours look like these? If so then following to try to find out what these are.
I’m pretty sure the round ones are spirorbids, not positive though.

Here’s a link to the Id this thread with photos of everything. https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/what-is-that-a-r2r-guide-to-common-new-tank-hitchhikers.443382/
They do not, they are long and straight some may have a slight curve but mostly straight in whatever way they are growing. Also seems to be hard shelled.
 
I haven’t found any identifying threads matching what I see maybe I’m missing it. Fingers crossed they are harmless

The round ones look like the spi., on the right side. The left side has long white straight ones, I have no idea what those are.
