 |  Ok, now I need an ID
Anyone ever run across this stuff before? I am not sure what it is but it grows like wildfire even after harvesting. It doesn't seem to sting my corals but they do act irritated though I suspect it's more because it quickly grows over them and overtakes it. It's soft, nothing hard on it at all. Needs light. 
Thanks. |

Its a type or hydroid/hydrocoral, I cant think of the exact name right off. I came across it when I was looking up the hydroids I had. _________ Got Questions? Need Answers?

Yup Hydroid for sure. Nasty stuff. I haven't heard a control or removal method that works. | |

My guess is colonial hydroids as well but can you take a close up picture of one of the "polpys?" | |

Is this a baby nudibranc, flat worm or what?  | thats a flatworm | |
