Hey, new to corals and not sure how to look for any posts on this, but what are these hair like things coming from my rock w/ coral? Not sure how to describe them, they are thick like a nail or pin, white/clear, w/ 2 antennas at the top. also look like the body has segments and they dont move and are everywhere. are they good or bad? thanks!

Because there are so many critters that match your description, a picture would be worth a thousand words
