Hundreds of tubes. What are they?

[dbradley]

I have had hundreds of little tube worms appear on my rocks and coral. I have lost some coral since they appeared. If anyone knows what these are and how to get rid of them it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
David

Your refering to the small tubes growing out of the coral there in the photo right? If so they are mini feather dusters. Totally harmless. Any coral loss is not directly related to these guys.

Thanks for your reply. I am referring to the ones coming out of the coral. I am really am not sure about them being the reason for me lossing some corals. I just though that they may be since they seem to be the only thing that changed in my tank. The mini-feather dusters are everywhere, should I try to control them?

Thanks,
David
