Stuff growing in my sump.

Ok I have not had time to take a pic of it but I have something kinda cool growing in the sump. It is in the return pump chamber.
It looks like some kind of algae. They are long and look like worms. If I touch them they are kind of mushy. I decided to leave it alone. Well,they are growing a lot now and have sprouted feather duster type of heads. It is NOT Aiptasia.

That's what they probably are , feather dusters. Completely harmless and cool to look at.

They come all sorts of different colors. They are a good thing to have in your tank.
