I'm hoping someone might know what these red things are growing on the stems of my trumpet coral. I noticed them a while back. They can't be much taller than 1/4" or 5/16". They are reddish brown, and look like tiny palm trees or really thin pom-poms. Just want to know if they are safe or not, and if not how to take 'em out. Thanks. _________
