its a coral.

Paly or Zoa.

It's good.

Might even get more colourful if you give it enough light.

it will look green under blue light. It will grow like weed unlike other kind of zoa :).

Look like palys to me too. If they stay brown get rid of them - unless you like brown :wink:. They'll overgrow your rock. I had similar ones and they're a pest.
Above your featherduster I see a vermetid snail - it'll have a hard tube. Mash the crap out of it before it spreads. You've gotta dig into the rock a bit to kill it.

Never had a problem with vermited snails...

Why kill them?

You don't like the web?

Also, thats probably a Hydrozoan...maybe not a vermited.

Agreed. I find them interesting. I guess I've never had a huge amount, but the ones I had were fine for years.

If their web gets on corals it can irritate them if it stays there for extended periods of time.
