These are spinoid worms and use the threads known as palps to capture food. While harmless can multiply and are not cuc but pests especially around nearby coral. Cover tube opening with coral putty or break off with needle nose pliers at the base of each one

Its already quite a outbreak and alot of them I cant get without damaging my coral ( they are squeezed in tight places) From what ive read they are healthy for the tank but are very ugly. Are there any bottom feeders that would take care of these?
