Xenia coral pest

[Tylerbrown4747]

I had just bought the Xenia coral and I was looking at it and I found these little tubes growing out from the base of the coral. Does anyone know if this is some kind of pest or is it new stems of the coral.

Hard to see under blue light, white light would be best

my guess would be feather dusters but can't say for sure until a white light picture is posted

Looks to be zoa coral which would not be a bad thing

Yep looks like Zoas, which imo are a better coral than the xenia lol

Just kidding.
