Hard to tell without a pic but could be a number of algaes.

I got the sane thing on my zoa frag. Dont think its anything bad. It kinda looks like long purple hair

feather duster worms
not bad at all

I looked at some photos of feather duster worms and these don't look like that but maybe they are in the beginning of growth ?

Feather dusters should have a tube and then a small feathery looking appendage that comes out and retracts back into the tube. Stringy doesn't sound like feather dusters. Try and get a picture
