What is growing in my tank? Pics added

not vermnatid snails......I had an ID on those once, but I forget what they are called now

I think winged fish is right actually. I googles some pics of them and there are several different types of these little buggers but I do see some just like em.
So far I cannot find any info on how to get rid of them other than to superglue them but I have way to many to superglue. Maybe it's time to take all my live rock out for a scrub FML.

If you come up with something else I'm all ears because Vermetids is the last thing I want them to be lol

I do not think they are colonial hydroids as I have never seen a head come out of them. They only slime occasionally which according to what I have been reading is how Vermetids breed.

Nah, they look like vermetids to me as well. Just wanted to point out that they are, by far, not the worst case scenario.

Well they may not be the worst but they sure know how to reproduce some quick.

Keeping in check.

Here's a good read on them. Basically you have to manually remove them
