Will post another sorry very hard spot and they are all like clear I just woke up seeing these and have no fish store that’s open so just freaking out and have a bunch of aiptasia that just came out of no where. Going to the LFS tm to talk abt how to get rid and maybe get a hermit or snail something that will help get rid of them

The clear tubes? Doesn't look like worms to me. Maybe sponges or hydroids? If the former, I wouldn't worry about it.

I'd say either sponges or tunicates. Both would be harmless

Should I keep an eye on

Looks like sponges or tunicates to me. Harmless filter feeders that tend to come in surges and disappear over time

To get rid of the sponges/tunicates? Just pull them out. Though they can be beneficial so I'm not sure if that's the best way to do it. For aptasia get 2-3 bhergia nudibranchs
