    The white tube is from a feather duster.

    why would you want to get him out? he'll add to your filtration, meaning He eats debris in the water, in turn keeping your water clean, You'll have tons of them In your Live Rock, they grow to be very pretty

    I have a lot of those tubes around lol. The feather dusters may not be in there no more, but if they are they are very beneficial to your tank and water quality as stated above. A lot people actually buy these. ;D

    I understand, I only asked cause I got more than a dozen and they don't move and are very hard to the touch. Almost as hard as the rock itself. It'll be nice if I actually have some on my tank.

    I guess I let them be where they at now and see what happen as the tank matures. Thanks!
