I have white things in my tank. I am not sure where they came from. at first I only saw one but now I see at least ten. They are white and fuzzy, they look almost like a long cotton ball or q-tip top. at the end of them they have a small hole w/ a fan like thing that looks like a type of pollyp or feather duster. Does anyone have any ideas, is it possible they could be bad. any help or suggestions would be great.
thanks

it could be a tube worm...mine came on the live rock i have in the tank...not a big fan of them but most of the people i have talked to said they aint going to hurt anything as they are filter feeders and look like tiny feather dusters
