Full tank pics here

No tiny antennaes, though the tips are a whitish color. I thought they were some type of tube worm or feather duster at first, but they never move or open up. They just grow & die off and collect in the overflow for my wet dry. Here is a couple of close ups. Chris

I have these tube looking things growing on my rock. Anyone know what they are? Good or Bad? They are really starting to take over..... :D Thanks in Advance Chris
