Can someone help identify this thing on my trachy? Just noticed it!

To me that looks like a harmless fan worm, but I suppose it could be a type of hydroid. @vetteguy53081?
I dipped this coral before introducing it to the tank so I’m kinda just disappointed. You say fan worms are harmless, what about hydroids?
 
Hydroids can annoy corals and multiply so if you definitively ID it as such, you'd probably want to get rid of it. However, I think little fan worms are great. I used to have a ton---but then I got some wrasses who decided to eat them
